I suspect that many of these people never saw the original posting to even get his address. If a posting contains the word "FREE" in the title line, and contains nothing but "MEEEEE TOOOO" in its body, it takes on the property of a text-based virus. That is, it will use the system to cause lots of other postings that say nothing but "meeee toooo" to be made. Simply railing at these people, and especially when the e-mail address of the original poster is not included, will accomplish nothing except to add another "noise message" to the thread. I don't like it either, but I'm content to just be patient, and wait for the thread to die of old age. It probably will, in another month or two :-) Wes B. -- ******************************************************************************* * Wes Brzozowski * Nothing is a waste that makes a memory * * wesb@vnet.ibm.com * - Ned Rorem * *******************************************************************************
