I don't know.  For some insane reason NYLXS ends up in the bulk bin of yahoo,
but I've gotten to the point where I really just don't care.  If Yahoo is stupid
let them be stupid.  I've had static IP addresses for almost 8 years now and I
pay good money for them.  Our reverse DNS is also correct.  And more often than
not I don't want to talk to you if your using Yahoo mail ;)

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attacted at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
