??? I'm not hiding.

While the 'From:' address is 'no-spam', and may be acquired by spammers, and thus results in mail to it being routed to a 'Spam, Probably' folder, if you Reply to the message, you'll get my plain unadorned address, and you'll reach my Inbox straightaway.

Even the 'Spam, Probably' folder gets scanned for mails that aren't really spam, and merit a reply. If you got a bounce, it's probably becasue you sent me an 'Out of Office', to an HP3000-L posting. That's wrong - it shouldn't be sent at all, but if it is, it should be sent to the List, so Jeff Kell can unhook you, and save everyone from the annoyance.

Apart from that, if I recognise your name, you're whitelisted with me anyway.

What's with this 'jeered at for being lazy', exactly? I think maybe you got the wrong guy....

Regards

Roy
