Actually, I found the following:

o	The first address didn't resolve for me
o	The second address didn't resolve for me
o	As a result of the above, the email to both bounced
o	I would prefer leaving "386", "Free" and "Net" out of it
	or counting them seperately so that an agregate total
	could be had (ie: tying it to "Free" is as bad as tying
	it to "386" as far as making people think they shouldn't
	respond).

Can you give us a "top 10 posters" list?.  Or a "top 11" to get everyone
who posted over 200?  8-).
