   Of course not.

   Not a throwback, I never changed it.   
   It was valid, once, despite saying 'nospam'.   
   There is also a Reply-To: header for serious replies, if really needed.

   Eh, you are replying to several people at once.

   As already noted, SPR is a reserve for the care and feeding   
   of relativity nutters,   
   and for people who like to do some careing and feeding.   
   Some moments of observation will tell you who is what.

   you may still learn something new, occasionally,
