then by all means complain to the site administrators, but stop
complaining on the list. the ten messages of complaint from one measily
message, it creates more of a headache then the actual message does. now I
have to hit delete eleven times rather then once. we all
know this stuff is disturbing, but besides complaining to the
administrators there is nothing as list members we can do, but delete it
and move on to discuss more important issues.
thanks,
