Dear Mr. Anonymous. Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, but I have a life. By
avoiding the real issue of spam, and focussing instead on the trivial I
suspect you may well be involved with the spammer, a suspicion re-inforced
by your lack of courage in using a real name or valid email address.
Consequently I invite you to reveal your true interest and identity, or to
join the ranks of those notorious spammers already on my blocked senders
list.

Cliff Coggin.

Just ask any proficient secretary/filing clerk whether he/she files the
newest letters on the top or the bottom of the pile?

The Usenet convention is for bottom posting with unnecessary text/message
content snipped.

Top posting only came about because Outlook Distress did is a default IIRC, and
wasn't fixed for some years.

My 'secretary' files most stuff in the waste bin... :-))
