Sorry to trouble you all with this non-listing stuff but quite a few listers
are not receiving messages because of shields either for spam or non
acceptable words being in the body or subject of the message.

Sorry for being cryptic in the next section :-)

A very innocent message by Gordon McLeod has been regected by quite a few
peoples programmes a word starting with 'b' followed by a word starting in
'd' and ending in 'l' ( I am trying to avoid using these words so that all
will recieve this message and be aware of how innocent words can be taken by
a computer to be offensive to some.

To show how silly this has become, there is a surname, quite a common
surname starting in 'C' with double 'm' in the middle and 'ing' at the end.
All the messages that were sent regarding this surname were not received by
quite a few listers and the message content could have included information
that was or could have been relavent.

I dread to think if someone who works for one of the companies that blocks
this kind of mail has this surname - his email box would be very empty!!!

So, sorry for this non-gen info but I feel this is the only way that this
message would have stood a chance of getting to all listers.

regards to all both home and abroad
