You find that nobody worried about the dirty pictures because 99.99% of the
time its a spammer who has posted it to this group (and many others), and is
dealt with by the listmom accordingly. As far as posting about religion, I
don't think I have ever in the 22 years or so I have been getting
email/using Fidonet received religious-based spam. That's why people jump
up and down, because it is usually a legitimate email and not spam.
So, what did you think of my Newton posting at the end of the previous
message???? I think donating to charity to receive abandonware for our
beloved Newton is a far more relevant discussion on this list than others
that have been filling my inbox :-)
