Re: list policy poll
Dear List and Geoff;
I agree on the kooks not being main line or even fitting here...but, if we all
had computer email lists in the 8th. or 9th. century, we would be all finger

that rocks fall from the sky.
Just my 1 cent worth.
Spam is worse, kooks come second, long forever loading jokes from friends (?)
come third.
