texte = Alex, as I said, luckily, I barely averted the spamcop hell myself but I can definitely see the problem w/spamcop big time now. Up until now I have been gleefully reporting my spam to spamcop. But then I got on the other side of it and really had to take a good look at it as a whole. The system is definitiely good and noble in concept but flawed in practice. And while it DOES cut down on spam it drags a lot of 'innocents' down with it... kind of like throwing the baby out with the bathwater..Anyhow, I feel your pain, I too will refrain from going further off-topic, and as far as it being too early for drinks, I will quote from a sitcom the other day that made me laugh:C'mon, man, let's go have a drinkBut it's 8am...We'll get some eggs with it.
