Sites which dislike receiving net.jokes.* or net.test should refuse acceptance of the traffic, NOT generate MORE traffic for the already loaded and costly network. Just think what happens if someone builds a return letter to your return letter generator! Stephen J. Mahler, Network Services Mgr. Purdue University
