Glad that someone started this. Perfect scratch for my itch. This *&%%$ garbage comes even when you don't subscribe to gateway (like I do) and use outlook express to post in c.d.i. For every post I get few "out of office" in my mail box. I can easily use a fake email address, but then I can't get mails from folks like you, Madison or Jonathan. I value these mails more than the garbage. Art is right. These people are f****g insensitive. Nah. They are f****g idiots IMO. I have given up on asking IIUG to upgrade their mailing list software.
