I don't know about other people, but I tend to pay more attention to posts from people I either know or know of (by reputation), and when glancing at incoming message headers, seeing a familiar email addy is a quick flag to think "hey, this might be worth reading"... just my 2c worth </me dons flame-retardant suit - let the roast begin> cheers, - b. -- I know not how I came into this, shall I call it a dying life or a living death? -- St. Augustine 08:39:38 up 23:11, 3 users, load average: 0.27, 0.26, 0.18
