EV>Jay,

EV>A while back I sent an email to you about your old wired routers.

EV>I've never heard back from you.

EV>Am I in your spam filter???

You are positively NOT in my spam filters. I haven't replied to your
router message simply because I inadvertently deleted your message.
Please forgive me. However I have not been able to find or determine
which of the wall warts here that go with which of the routers.
Please email me your mailing address again and I will send you all the
routers and WAP plus all wall rats that may go with them. I have no
further use for them and it galls me to see them sitting here just going
to waste. I have no manuals for any of them, but they are available on
the net.

Yes, the spammers examine messages in areas such as this one in the
WIN95 echo looking for addresses.

EV>It was I who sent you that email several months ago about the bus driver
EV>with the elderly folks in the bus sharing some food with him.

I guess I am one of those elderly (81 going on 82) because I have no
recollection of this.

EV>You sent me a email back telling me not to send you anything more
EV>because my bus driver email was addressed TO: over 25 addresses of which
EV>you were one of those in the list.

If you do not use BCC (blind carbon copy) and include my address among
others in your emails, I still request that you do not send me emails.
One way spammers obtain addresses is gleaning them from an infected
computer that has many addresses displayed in such stored email. I
firmly advocate that no one use CC (carbon copy) in their emailing to
multiple recipients, They should use BCC (blind carbon copy). Every email
program I have looked at contains this capability.

EV>Until I got your post, in this Echo, about your old wired routers with
EV>your email address in it I haven't sent you any email.

EV>Examine your Bit-Bucket please.   ;-|

EV>Thanks.

You are more than welcome and I apologize for my shortcomings (which
seem to be getting greater as time goes by). Just ask my wife.  :-(

Jay
