Hi Pete
Thanks for all the research. Educate me - how did you do all that?
I must admit, I didn't see the hook.
I suppose there is SPAM - herbal supplements, snake oil, bulk mail etc, and"spam" - this sort of
thing. However, I accept that they are both unwanted on the ng.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
