    Karsten, what I really don't get is why a person like you who likes
    doing research and pressing his points, can't be a little bit more
    objective now and then. I agree with you (took some time, granted,
    remember that thread many months ago started by that non-person?) that
    C-R isn't a good solution to spam, but, if you look at it objectively,
    there are some points stated in your C-R rant that don't apply to tmda.
    You should grant them that, I think.

    Peace, indeed.
