Have you ever noticed that the people who write such self-help books are clue free? Who in their right mind would pay much attention to someone like this about computer consulting? Remember to respond to this individual as well as postmaster@delphi.com. An advertisement is an advertisement. If you don't make them too expensive now, you'll wish for the days when Jesus's messages were the worst you had to filter. A consistent 5% negative response rate for each such missive would be enough to make junk mail not worth sending. Obscenities and or large files are not necessary or appropriate. Simply express your lack of enthusiasm for paying to read such junk mail. Vernon Schryver vjs@rhyolite.com
