spam revisited

[Carl Sappenfield]

I'm not sure what you guys are using now, but when I tried to answer someone's compiler question on 
your list in May my reply was blocked because you thought I was a spammer.  Since that's the only 
time (until now) I've tried emailing you, I laughed.  Since illiana blocked me, I don't suppose 
anyone will get this message...
