 Thanks Roger and others..

 A few days ago all posts I made to some POL groups vanished. I thought I'd upset Big Brother (ran out of tinfoil). ISP said there was no problem as she could see my posts and asked me if I'd added myself to the blocked senders list :-( Then the problem went away - with no input from me. I could see my stuff again but any sent on that day or so are still gone.

 Yesterday a new problem. Some of my blocked senders got unblocked so I had a load of guys wanting to tell me about their nine inch penis, offers of pictures of sundry actresses in the nude and a handful of the 'black helicopter' cranks. I've blocked them again and hope they stay blocked this time.

 Maybe it's just Bill Gates telling me to update from W95 :-)

     Small digression. Women and gay guys must have no interest in this whole nude     celeb thing. Well you never get Spam with 'Montgomery Clift Nude!!' do you?

 Joe.
