It's down. My problem is that I'm on the weirdest lists, mostly from Asia from real companies doing things like speciality fabrications (if you ever need triangular extruded Magnesium bars, let me know--I think I get a comission). But the number of everything has gone down. I have 27 spams right now in the spambox, and thats in 20+ hours. Thats a huge decrease for me. Hats off to the MSU email team. --STeve Andre' Political Science
