	Good idea; I'll bear that in mind. Thanks!

	Dunno if they do; I do, yes.

	I go to every length I can think of against spam; but I do
occasionally invite individuals to subscribe, and *not* get
reconfirmations at the next cycle, despite my assurance when I put
them on that they're welcome to drop on or off at any time, for any
reason or no reason.

	Put it that I have a horror of ranting where I'm not
welcome. I can do it, if I see need, but I do have a horror of it.
