STOP HARRASSING ME. Please do some basic research. You do not do your professional or personal reputation, or the reputation of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society any credit by screaming and complaining about things that you do not seem to fully understand and that we cannot fix. 1) Debian does not sell watches (or any other product). 2) Debian has no interest in selling you a watch. 3) Typing in all capitals is screaming and generally considered, at best, about as professional as a six-year-old throwing a temper-tantrum. You might want to see http://debian.org/ for what Debian is actually about, and learn how to trace back an email to it's source based on headers (http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html), since spammers always forge their email addresses to avoid prosecution and delay getting shut down by their ISPs for violating their terms of service. Most ISPs prohibit spamming. > Dawn Russo > Dawn Russo, MSW > Home LINKS Program Manager > National Multiple Sclerosis Society > Central New England Chapter > 101A First Avenue, Suite 6 > Waltham, MA 02451 > 800-493-9255 ext 155 > dawn.russo@mam.nmss.org > Information provided by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is based > upon professional advice, published experience and expert opinion. > Information provided in response to questions does not constitute > therapeutic recommendations or prescriptions.

Long, grandious, bandwidth-wasting signatures like this one do nothing to increase awareness and serve only to annoy and waste bandwidth when extended past four lines. Check this out: http://ursine.ca/McQuary_limit . If you have a useful message, your signature isn't the place for it, that's what the body of your message is for, otherwise it's almost as bad as spamming is. I would hope for the sake of MS patients that being self-interested and obnoxious really isn't how you conduct yourself and your org in person or on the internet. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://jabber.ursine.ca/
