that's good. but I did receive BS from googlegroups even after they have
been informed. I believe they work on it though (after "they were
informed" I only got bs from google spain). it's unlike yahoo, apple,
... etc. and oh mac.com... (not only I get bs from mac.com, I also get
spam. given the way thing are going, I think I'm gonna crucify them).
