Just one point of clarification.  By Jim Taylor's email I meant the piece of 
spam that he circulated, quite properly, to ask Larry Gall if he could help 
stop us getting all the junk.  My purpose in mentioning it was to help Jim to 
complain. I _hate_ spammers and scammers of all kinds. but I didn't mean to 
suggest that Jim was trying to spam or sell anything.
