And whining about whining (technically known as metawhining) about SPAM on a
spammed newsgroup/elist is what--anti-counter-productive????

 Which would make THIS email ultrametawhining, and antidiscounterproductive.
OK, I am going back in my cloister now to do pennance for sending this.


There is a poem in here someplace, and I really hope the Muse whispers it to
some one else!!!!!!!!
