Ach, that one slipped my attention. My most humble apologies. :-)

I wonder why. :-)

There is a fudge factor but I must mark a poster as a troll for it to
take affect.

You should heve been here when I decided to use leafnode to drop all
bailo's nyms. The guy all but went beserk when he didn't appear in the
stats.
Still, the likes of flatfish cannot comprehend that removing noise
from the stats makes them more representative of the group. It is just
too easy for a few annoying arseholes to flood a group with garbage.
Hence why relf, the mail2news, etc never see the light of day in mt
mail spool.
