Absolutely!  I have read maybe 1 message in 10 on the ballast lutefisk Guiness
thread and the rest went down the tube in a flash.  Kwitcherbitchen.

Last week somebody at work here sent a political message to the entire
staff mailing list which I regarded as irrelivent and deleted but for three
days I had messages from disgruntled staffers bitching about being spammed.
Three days of bitchers spammming me because they thought one message was
spam... you do the math.

Tom, do you have any memory for a DEC 3000 Model 400 in your junk pile?  This
little box is running 160M and I would like to have 512M if I could find any
of those &%@&* proprietary DEC memory strips.
