Just a note to people: when you e-mail someone
directly; don't use an
email-address that has something like "your name
<yournameDIE.YOU(a)SPAMMERmydomain.com>" in it. Using Microsoft Outlook
(which I do), it just shows <your name> with the SMTP portion hidden. After
the mail bounces, I'm less inclined to type the whole message again and edit
your user name. So that reply to you offering to sell you the complete
Altair for $50.... well, you didn't get it.
I mean, it's a direct e-mail, not the mailing list. If you think I am going
to spam you... come on.
Ok, now that, I've jumped all over Arfon, I have to say it's nothing
personal and I apologize in advance. it's just not the first time that it's
happened. it's just that I don't even see anything until the mail bounces.
Tis Okay Matt. I usually don't even think to change the Reply when I email
people personally. This is not intended as an insult or anything but, if
I were you, I'd get rid of that Outlook virus and use a better emailer.
