Geez, I marked it as off topic.  Didn't mean it as spam, meant it as a 
discussion piece.  I thought there were some interesting points.

[BTW--not all bulk mailings are spam!  Some small non-profits with opt-in 
lists actually appreciate the Free Software I wrote--saves them stress, time 
and money.  If you have ever done a bulk mailing, you know what I am talking 
about.]

I'll pass.  Burned once, twice shy.  They are not my prescriptions anyway, I 
think they come via the folks that wrote eGroups at Yahoo!
