I tend to agree with Doug on this in that, yeah I don't like 
recieving 300 messages a day, but I can live with it.  I have 
gotten a lot of good ideas for stories from some of the spam.  I 
have a question for WW though,  what is considered spam?  I mean 
really, when you have people talking about ideas is that spam (this 

is not critisism, I am honest to God asking you)?  And when is 
there too much spam?  How many messages?  Even though this in 
itself is spam I think as a mailing list we need to get this 
cleared up.

First off sorry for the angry subject and stuff. I hadn't been able to
check my mail
in 5 days, and when I came back... Well, lets just say it wasn't pretty.

I guess some spam is ok, but to a certain extent. Like 200 people replying
to something completly dumb is anoying! I just hate it when someone says
something like my SHUT THE HELL UP, and 20 people reply saying amen or you
shut up.

Spam that has a meaning is good. 
Spam that is very funny is good.
Spam that is part of a bad pun is good.
Spam about something totaly stupid that carries on for 5 days letter after
letter sucks.

There, I think I will get my point across better this way instead of that
last little letter.
