Get real people, the people who are on this list are in the very top |
| 12 |
percentage of computer knowledge, and while each of us are perfectly |
| 13 |
capable of filtering our own messages, we are out numbered hundreds if not |
| 14 |
thousands to one by people who don't know or don't care, and that makes |
| 15 |
filtering that blocks virus's a Good Thing(TM). |

If you want email service that is not virus scanned ask your ISP for it, |
| 18 |
and if they don't offer it, get an email domain and use that, or switch |
| 19 |
ISP's. |
