I really love and get good info from this list Everybody is different. What you say makes sense. But not for me. I block people who write me off list and are nasty. I like to feel good. Life is to short How can you know if they have something important to say if you delete them Ema From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AOL-RW] Blocked I've never put a person in my blocked list, but I do use the word blockers to reduce spam. This was needed before AOL did lots of filtering. If a person annoys me, I just delete their mail before reading it or just ignore them if I don't like what they are saying. I don't want to block someone totally because they could write something important sometime. Ruth Cherecwich **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
