ans. I am using Juno.com and Netzero.net for email.  They are not totally
anonymous though.  I don't like Hotmail or Yahoo accounts with bogus names.  If
the bad boys keep using those accounts then we as a club should vote on it with
the exception of the offending parties.

>b. Stopping messages from known bad user IP addresses.
ans.  Yes!

>c. Stopping messages with certain keywords in the Subject.
ans. No!  A small amount of vulgarity does not offend me.  Guess it must be
due to my 20+ years in the military.

>d. Stopping messages from certain keywords in the Subject body.
ans. No! Obvious ad hominem crap should be deleted.

>e. Consider the use of a software program to achieve any of the above.
ans. No!  It would take the soul out of the club.  I think that World Chess
Network does this and it bugs the hell out of me.  Too mechanical.

>f. Online archives for member access.
ans. Yes!  But I don't think that all the messages need to be kept.  Keep only
the ones by Vincent Diepeveen or Fernando Villegas or other deep thinkers.

ans. Be friendly.  Be helpful.  Be constructive.  You already do this so you are
doing your best.
