Yeah,  well,  it worked,  didn't it?  :-)

Heh.

I don't know of any sites that are blocked by my ISP,  though I've sent
them headers in the past day or so from 7 different spam posts I got just
from putting my real email address in a usenet posting -- once!

They offer all sorts of options for people to deal with spam and viruses
and whatnot,  and I've got my account set to as close to zero as I can get
it.  "No filtering" seems not to mean quite what it says in some
instances still.

Got that one too.

Not near as handy as I used to be,  years ago,  and surely not with
multilayer boards.  The post sounded though as if they may be usable as-is.

There was once a package that went through one of the file distribution
nets called "Dayo".  Apparently written in one of the dbase
clones,  though now I forget which one.  It was pretty comprehensive,  but
it also had some serious design flaws.  For example,  some of the menus
were designed to be used by "clerical" people but those menus
still had the option in there to "Zap" the database (clear it out
completely)!  Among other things...

I also remember the song.
