I completely agree with your action on the guy using the e-mail list
for advertisement purposes. I have seen a lot of discussion on the
net about access, advertisement and so on. But we have not
to forget that the net was designed as a tool for a specific job
and he is still used this way most of the time. I used it for my
job, it helps me to organize scientific conferences and to do
that in a faster and less expensive way that fax, or to exchange
idea with fellow researchers (for example I 'm writing this message from
Japan, using my computer in France). So I would not like
to have as many many garbage paper as I have still recently in my
physical mailbox. I don't believe that we should have rules
too, but we have just to flame those advertisement guys. You would
not like that anybody come and may write down in your agenda or
open your drawers, would you? This is how I feel for e-mail junk
BTW  , about what we drink while smoking pipe Lagavulin is
okay with me , with this dutch tobacco Neptune.
