The delphi, and to a large extent, princeton email addresses would be largely 
dead addresses by now.  People do move around although I've had verizon adsl 
for about 5 years now.  A better deal from somebody else could change that 
yet today though.  Any posts I made to princeton probably came from an older 
dialup account, and delphi's use of handles renders those useless.  So I 
don't have any qualms about the old addresses in those posts.  Heck, back in 
delphi days I shared an account that the CE of the tv station down in Beckley 
had & wasn't using all of, so a lot of those old posts had a WOAY handle on 
them.

So its sorta mochs nichs to me, I run SA here on my incoming stream & 
/dev/null anything over five stars, and that kills a good portion of the 
spam.

Spam is a battle we'll never win, and like advertizing on radio & tv, it 
subsidizes and supports the internet whether we like it or not.
