I've been talking to an administrator lately who's policy is that "loosing occasional email is ok if it means we keep out a whole bunch of spam". If they're that far over the fence I'd need a strong bull with a long rope to try to pull them back to my side. I keep trying to tell him I'm potentially losing business due to his position, but he's convinced spam is worse. Some people simply can't be educated. -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
