Guys 
Can I make a suggestion.
Like Mike and the others I too have Mailwasher "anti spam" software but over
the past few months I have added everyone's email I've seen( so far ) to my
"white list" and so I know that if I asked for help no-one would be
"offended" by having their mail bounced.
Which is why no-one ever gets the " you've gotta do this before I read your
mail"  E-mail from my system. When I ask a question

Maybe being an "old wrinkly" I like to work on the "KISS" principle and it
seems to work for me. 

Humans beat Machines everytime 

Another two cents in the fountain  ( about 3 english pence going on the
exchange rate)

I am replying both direct & to the group on this one.

Mike (and others who feel the need to use this type of software) - It might 
soften the blow if you would warn us that you are running "rude" software 
when you solicit a response. I have received this type of response from 
others who ask for assistance and then I get a message that my e-mail was 
refused or something. And I usually do add these people to the filter list. 
If you would just warn us that it is not easy to reply directly to you, we 
will reply to the list & clutter up everyone's in box so that yours isn't. 
Or we will just not reply. But to have your help refused leaves a bad taste 
in one's mouth and we tend to avoid it in the future.
