This is not a spam -this is not a spam -this is not a shoulder pork..

... apparently UUNET UK along with other main backbone 
providers have been attempting to put their house in order, 
Reg... ie., an all-around clean-up.  

One of the largest spam abusers of the 'net was finally closed 
a couple of months or so ago.  Guess they'll find their way 
back sometime... if not, then no doubt there will be other 
kinder-krud to enhance our environment...

Incidentally... as you, Reg.. I have had no spam for a while.
However... subscribing to the Archive-On-Line mail forwarding  
has brought a considerable and continual number of the evil 
unrelated gubbins together with that forwarding.  Not, as before, 
from the USofA... but this time from the UK!
