I am not sure enjoy is the right word.  Some people in the second group
simply don't trust the people in the first group to look after things.  A
case in point is email I have been recieving lately from a Windows user who
changed his address and put on a filter/robot to escape spam.  His robot
was emailing me over a half dozen times a day to tell me this.  Thus his
spam filter became a source of spam.  I used to get a newsletter about
available hardware from him but it isn't worth putting up with that kind of
silliness so I waved goodbye.

My favorite are the spreadsheets with macros in them.  They are extremely
entertaining reading.  :-)

Nevermore ...

Life is good,
