      [continued from previous message]              As far as I remember, no one reported spam here; we "skipped and       ignored" it in those days.              >> OTOH, various sites that had gone out of use, had become dumping grounds       >> for spam. IMHO, AAPC was well on its way to becoming one of those       >> dumping grounds.       >>       >>       >>>>> Your lie doesn't even make sense; if there wree only two people posting       >>>>> on aapc, then who was supposedly getting "fed up" with them?       >       > Exactly.       >       > There was Gray Gamble, JRS, Karla Rogers, Tom Bishop, Cook...              Tom died in 2007.
