Bloody confusticated devices! Luckily I hadn't sent you an e-mail so no worries, although I'm horrid at personal correspondence in the first place. Funny how I can talk on a list and not one-on-one in e-mail. As for spam filters, I recall when I lived in northern California I was with a local ISP and they were testing or otherwise implementing their own spam filter. I noticed that some of the mail I expected to get on a regular basis just didn't reach me. I called them and sure enough, they had turned on a spam filter. I asked them to turn the thing off and release the e-mails that were caught in there, so I believe I got all the mail I'd lost. Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Byron J.

For most people this would not be a big deal, but for a guy like me who communicates primarily through e-mail it's a catastrophe. If you have sent me anything in the last week and it was important... PLEASE SEND AGAIN! If you sent something to me a year ago and haven't gotten a reply, that's just me being inconsiderate. For whatever reason beyond my understanding, a program that filters spam decided on a whim that EVERYTHING was spam and sent it all directly to the dust-bin. I guess this is something I should keep in mind when dealing with computers. Sometimes they have minds of their own and if they are not properly paid attention too, they will blow up in your face. Anyway, nice talking to you all, and I expect to see an overstuffed e-mail box in the next few days. ~Byron
