Hello Paul -- I'm rather amazed that a scientific person like you is getting
so bent-out-of-shape over some bounced messages from AOL.  I have messages
bounced, and a telephone call revealed the alleged recipient had not paid his
bill.  He was several months in arrears.  Also, my wife has earthlink/mindspring
and has more trouble with e-mail messages than I do with AOL.  And I think
many services and receivers are having problems with implementing their spam
blocker systems.  I have had trouble with some of that and it was not AOL.
   But its your network to do as you please.  I have enough trouble with my
computer without switching systems.
Yours for fun flying with a rotary.  Buck Buchanan.

Maybe Earthlink and Mindspring are being honest with their subscribers.
Perhaps you don't know about the AOL messages you are not receiving.
I can tell by the questions some AOL people ask when they don't get
a message.

One or two bounces from an individual not paying his bill is one thing.
Many many bounces, one for each message sent, for a whole list of two or
three dozen dozen  people, all on AOL, is an entirely a different matter.
Russell Kent is getting tired of notifying all you AOL people when the
messages bounce. I suggest you get another email address to continue
to receive this newsletter.
