---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Alan, I understand where you're coming from, believe me. I didn't intend anything personal. I've just had this happen to me several times (including my niece). And I don't remember sending you anything personally. Did I? Is it just "Oldszeimers" disease? Anyway, since I've switched to Road Runner, I almost never get a spam message. At the university I get TONS of it! :-( But I happen to use Eudora as my e-mail program and it has a great spam filter that puts almost all of that type of post into a Junk mailbox. I can scan it in about 5 seconds to see if anything got in there accidentally and then highlight & delete the whole mess. That way nobody has to respond to anything. I guess I'm just too easily irritated in my old age. As I said, nothing personal. Forgive me? :-) Avery At 06:40 PM 5/9/05, you wrote: >Okay, Avery and all, here's the deal.
