I have sincere thanks to offer to Iain Noble of Tees University since he
told us lis-linkers back in June 2001 how to set up a filter on email.
RKent is always dumped neatly into my Deleted Items. Cheers Iain. I
support freedom of speech, as long as I'm not forced to listen. I copy his
email for you all to consider 'eplugs' (apologies, it is after all the first
day of spring - if that's an excuse)

Do you really want to start a freedomofexpressioninUKlibraries.com campaign?
Oh, no! Now I have given him an idea.
