Ok, pop. Perhaps I read Ross' post wrong. I don't think I did though.

Good advice, perhaps there's an ABUSE newsgroup somewhere? On hindsight that
would've been a more appropriate area, if there IS such an area.

Anyway, as long as I'm here, the "genius" who created the email in question
has several nicknames:

The Publice Defender
Mr *fliter*
Kong
Chimp
Peabrain
Yellowback
Gates

Well, you get the idea anyway. I just say this in case anymore of my friends
show up here so they can instantly get a good laugh.
