I am REALLY sick of ignorant (or disinformational ) posts like this one.

The argument to the X-CR header is a password. A unique password to the

Please do your homework or get a brain, or acquire some ethics, whichever

mail me  or check out  Professor Timo Salmi's pages.

For those of you who don't like CR systems:  


Write your congressperson....You are boring the stuffing out of me.
