Oh that's made my week that has... I used to love reading those in my
youth when someone kindly sent me some back issues. Still have a few of
them knocking about somewhere.

I have some reading to do...

Thanks, Steve.

Ha ha, indeed!

Excellent stuff Bill! I'm left somewhat flabbergasted and just a
little saddened about how much of a crutch television appears to be to
some folk. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised really.

I think some people have just got used to TV, so all the other things there
are to do have been forgotten. It must be easy to get into that state if you
are short of money and not too well.

Isn't that:
"Bill Wright - the fourth emergency causing service"? ;-)

Yes, we caused total panic that day! Funny thing was, we took them from 'no
telly due to no signal' to 'no telly until the set's tuned in' but it was
still a cause of much grief.

I wish.

looking at the headers, CD is using Agent and you don't have Block
Sender in that. IIRC Block Sender is in OE which Clive is using, so
who's post is pointless? :-P

Correct, I took time (well, I pressed H) to see what client he was
using. I choose not to use OE for news myself, although it is
perfectly usable for non-binary stuff.

I was wondering. If you invested the first half hour on site dropping
a well worded leaflet through all the doors (prepared by yourself the night
before)
it's surprising the authority a written document commands compared
to the spoken word.

Here it would go like all such things - straight in the recycling unread.
You perhaps wouldn't believe the amount leaflets etc we get round here.
