I noticed. I belong to a couple of Lotus lists on some stupid ad-driven
"free" server. The damned thing auto-dials on me, I get stupid attachments
from the (rare, most of these folks are very good) induhvidual who can't
figure out that attachments and trick formatting don't belong on a mailing
list. I hate the setup.
Mark's setup is ideal. No banner ads, no signature-area ads, no attachment
garbage, no auto-dials. Hats off to Mark for running this system clean and
simple for us car freaks, no matter what platform we are on. I believe I
still could do this list with my long-departed Atari 800. Cheers!
