I am a frequent user of garbo's mailserver, and find it to be an invaluable resource, but I really don't see the necessity for that listing being posted. Keep the stats sure, but make them available for download, don't force 1000's of sites across the world to PAY for the "privilege" of seeing your download stats. ----- Richard Solomon Richard.Solomon@ColoSpgs.NCR.COM ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncr-mpd!Richard.Solomon NCR Microelectronics 1635 Aeroplaza Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80916 (719) 596-5795 x386
