Hmm, well, I got an e-mail from Larry, subject line: We do not like being called SPAM. Title pretty much sez it all and he was nice enough to sign it as Larry. I'm a throwback to the days before browsers and all the pretty www. trappings. A lot of internet etiquette takes into account the slowness of 2400 baud modems from the old days of Gopher, Kermit, AT commands and xonxoff. A big sin in those days was making someone download a reply of "Me too!" hence the practice of such considerations of EOM or n/t in the subject lines. Not such a problem these days with better hardware. You guys that read the initial post from Larry (w/o the "-Collectables" pitch) can think what you want but my opinon was spam so I posted a warning. I'm a really cranky guy (and long-winded!)but I don't want to be gratuitously disruptive here at The Chip Board.
