Well I got this message twice (so far) I guess technology isn't as hot as

I belong to four other yahoo groups. None of them spam me. I have belonged  
to lists too. And one of them did go nuts once when someone linked his  
returns to the digest or some such. It looped and the hardware person had  
to get involved directly. Point being nothing is bullet proof.

If it's not your cupa tea... then I guess you wont be joining us. Although  
the door is always open.

If you start a list, please post a notice here so *I* can also monitor  
whatever goes that way. I'd like to stay as current as possible.

I hope I didn't offend you in anyway, it was not my intention.
