[AMRadio] SPAM/Bounces

[W5AMI]

My words (read it again Mack) were "...get another email provider like Gmail
or *something*".  In no way was I suggesting that it's gmail or nothing.  I
am not in the mood for this, and if you need help leaving, I will certainly
give you a hand.  I don't need the crap when this is nothing I can control!
 You are trolling and I will not deal with it.
