I do not consider their posts to be spam and have never looked at them as
such. Sorry Ken, but spam in my book is the 15 emails I get each day on how
to add 3 inches to my wankie or how to get a low-cost re-fi on the mortgage.

No need to apologize to me but most folks, whether they realize it
or not, appreciate that rofb is a non-commercial Usenet newsgroup.
If you allow commercials here, even the benign ones from the good
guys, this place would soon lose an essential part of its character
and usefulness. I've seen it happen in other newsgroups.

Ken, I'm sorry to hear about your chemo treatments. I hope everything works
out OK.

Thanks, John. It is what it is and I take it one day at a time.
