The need of the many I think out way the need of the one or the few,
You want thousands of users to go through hundreds of emails a day they
did not want to save ten or fifteen poor slobs (And yes I have been one
of theses poor slobs before.) from get a few thousand email they did not
want.  The truth is BOTH of us are being selfish!!!  We both just happen
to be annoyed by  different side of the same problem. <grin>

All things aside I was not asking him to go against his best interest, I
was finding out if enough people felt like me to make a public patch
instead of just patching my own server and moving on, he was just trying
to offer me other options. Thats fine I just wished he had an option I
liked, but alas it was not so.
