Well, If *you* say so. Of course, you could do what I do to avoid those
email problems - I don't make an email address available in the
newsgroups. I hardly even check the ZipLippers I already have. But with
all the bad things you get, would you notice it if I sent you an email?
The address should be recognizable...
Oh, I forgot!
I also keep my file posting nics separate from my help nic (this one).
This may be an idea you could try.
