Fw: [Boatanchors] Code Speed

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Not a problem of any kind Bob, just checking to be sure all the traffic was
arriving as it is supposed to. Seems to be a lot of mail failure issues the past
several weeks on ISP's nationwide. Probably spam and/or virus related issues.	
	
Thanks for letting me know.

I'm afraid I did not - I just starting reading this "thread" yesterday and
