I would gladly volunteer! Hi Brent, While I agree that message did not belong here, how often does a thing like that happen here? Is it really worth delaying the flow of messages because of an occasional bad apple? (Surely you cannot sit at the computer 24/7 and let all good messages pass through immediately.) Now, if it were to become a regular thing, it may be worth having a human filter. But so far, that has not been the case. Abusus non tollit usum. Adam --- Want to design your own web counter?
