         WHOA!
         Excuse me, milord, but what it seems that you are saying -- and
I ask to have my ignorance corrected if I do not understand -- is that YOUR
software hides reality from you, and makes decisions for you without your
knowlege.  It further seems that you are denigrating software that presents
to the user all of the incoming message, rather than hiding parts of it.
         Surely I'm misinterpreting your comment . . . I hope!
         Not very OT at all, have you ever read Jack Williamson's novel,
"With Folded Hands"?
