their point was it is OFF TOPIC. You are right, spamming is not the correct term. But that and your apology is about the only things you got right in this thread.

By this logic, posting test messages with "please ignore" in the subject line are OKAY in you view. The trouble, I still have to download those headers.

If you are just focusing on AUST, then learn to use the Distribution: header so that only Australia readers will ever see your post.

If you are just focusing on AUST, then learn to use the Distribution: header so that only Australia readers will ever see your post.

Please don't do it next time. The logic of this last paragraph implies that if Iwanted to contact my college friends, I might post here with a subject like: "for friends of Ed Prochak, all others please ignore"

Note,we reply to your justifications hopefully so that other posters learn what NOT TO DO. I know you will not make this mistake again.

Thanks for listening. And to any posters that gain some insight that stops you posting off topic, thank you for reading so patiently.
