Just one small correction -- many of us didn't sign up. On our side at<br>
least, there seems to have been an auto-subscribe to a couple of lists<br>
including this one.<br>
<br>
However, the point of filtering is quite valid. It's a ten second rule<br>
to set up in Thunderbird etc., either unsubscribe or set up the rule. ;-)<br>
