RE: Screening out the replies to RR Cameron, Unsubscribing to the list throws the baby out with the bathwater. When it doesn't get derailed by another RR attack, this thread provides very valuable information about the current status of Iomega. For me, at least, it's worth the daily check. Alas, though, I'm too busy to be able to read hundreds of posts a day. (I usually don't get home from work until about 8:30 p.m., and I do most of my reading then or first thing in the morning.) I don't read any of RR's posts, since I already know what they're going to say. I now pretty much already know also exactly what all the replies to him are going to say, so I'd like to skip them, too. Since the SI people don't include the recipient's name in the bulleted subject list of postings, however, and since people are unwilling to put an RR or non-RR tag line at the beginning of each message, I end up downloading dozens and dozens of utterly predictable responses to you-know-who's drivel. SI could solve the problem easily enough by including name of both sender AND recipient in the bulleted subject listings, but they haven't seen fit to do so yet. (ARE YOU LISTENING, SI PROVIDERS?) Consequently, I'm with Edwik! I'll cheerfully pay for a new version of Browsemaster that includes the ability to exclude messages from AND to certain addresses. It's simply a matter of not wasting my time. Cheers, Tom (long IOM) "The horse is an unusual species indeed. The world count of horses' derrieres is far larger than the world count of horses."

including the "stealth ad" by Mr. Richards on this thread, portraying himself as a potential customer to those who looked no further, when, in fact, he wrote the software Cameron, Yes, I did write the software. Sorry to all offended by my stealth ad techniques, it was not my intent to make myself look like a customer, but I didn't make that clear in my post. By the way, I love those quotes, Cameron. I am a regular reader of the Iomega thread. Regards, Craig
