FWIW, a general comment on email these days. Anyone who has a fairly
well spread valid email address (i.e., numerous postings on r.a.s and
web sites, etc.) currently receive anywhere from hundreds to thousands
of spam messages, bounce messages from virus emails with spoofed from
addresses, etc. My spam filter software probably incorrectly marks less
than 1 percent of good email as junk, but that still amounts to several
emails a week going into the junk folder that shouldn't be there.
Sometimes I go through the folder looking for such messages, sometimes I
just don't have the time or patience.

Also be aware that some ISPs are now quietly blocking emails from other
ISPs, to "protect" their customers from spam. I can no longer
communicate via email with a partner in one of my gliders, as his ISP
has decided to block a whole range of IP addresses, which happens to
include mine.

If you send an email to someone expecting a reply, and don't get one in
a day or two, send another. Or better yes, use the phone...

I'm sure his not responding was because of a spam filter, Dick is always
very responsive and extremely patient with his customers. He spent much
time with me when I had problems figuring out my iPAQ.

Let's not be so quick to trash the good name of our truly good vendors!
