I don't use a killfile because OE is inflexible that way.  I killfiled 
myself accidentally once.  Had to re-install.

How you think that to criticize Brian with a description of Dick Cheney is 
going to influence anybody is beyond me.  Wherein was Brian's comment a 
rejoinder?  Have you ever addressed a topic in C?

Where you can't avoid the spam is when you use the google portal.  Page 
after page of tennis shoes and german flights.  I don't understand the 
spammer's motivation.
