MOTM

Actually I like computers, I just hate providers!

 

It should be me choice to decide whether or not e-mail I receive from
synth1@... <mailto:synth1%40airmail.net>  is spam! I don't need big
brother to prescreen my e-mail for me and I'm perfectly capable of right
clicking the items I decide are crap and blocking them! Good luck Paul! I
hope you can work it out!
