Thank Goodness for spam filtering or I would lose my main email address (i.e., tedd at sperling.com). My advise is to get an address that you can lose or one that is filtered, like tedd@... and use that address for posting to newsgroups or other such public places. Spam will be a thing of the past, but unfortunately, not soon. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com/
