close" error. This started maybe 2 months ago. What's up?
It's making it difficult to multitask newsgroup reading. -jrleek

due to spam. What are some ways to get around it? Thanks.

I am getting way too many F(*&^SD(F* spams. thx.

\_ Mozilla. Works a charm. If you _really_ want gui toys, you won't

2002/7/26-28 [Computer/SW/Mail] UID:25430 Activity:kinda low | 7/26 Are the binaries in /usr/local/bin with recently dates, a restored
version or a recompiled version? trn, for example, doesn't have

little problems again. Thanks.
