But one account of mine on another provider, which has obviously been sold on some list (despite having been used to post *only* *one* *post* *ever*) hasn't seen a single week with less than fifty for several months. And the accounts of mine that are listed in 'whois' database records get 2-3 per week as well. My six year old Netcom account probably hasn't seen a day with less than eight for almost a year, but all I do there is log the from address and throw it all away. Soon, it will probably all be forwarded to a spam-recognizing service, instead. Bob O`Bob -- "What do you want to reinstall today?"
