I find it does a pretty decent job. Yes, some spam still gets through but not much, and I have yet to catch it doing a false positive. It uses a filtering scheme where you feed it known spams, and it learns what they're like. I have a mailbox called "spam" that I use for training it. Whenever I see a spam in my inbox, I move it to the "spam" mailbox. Then in the middle of the night, a cron job throws the latest batch to the training program and then deletes it. - Jerry ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:22:42 -0700 From: ernest breakfield Subject: Re: [db] auxillary tank for Biodiesel/SV0/WVo hi! i was looking for references to baffles on the webpage, but must have missed them. nonetheless, call me crazy (again!), but after intentionally tipping J**ps for fun and changing directions as fast as possible for fun while racing autocross, there's no way i'd be wanting to put 10% of a vehicles weight on *top* of the highest part of any vehicle i use on public roadways that i have to share with the Joe Average driver... and that's if i was only putting myself in the vehicle (not anyone else i cared about). i've been witness to how much a vehicles handling characteristics change when you put just a spare tire on top, and don't want to consider that in the middle of a long trip when some cigar sucking gray-haired lardo drifts his smog-spewing Winnebago into a lane i'm already in! (can you tell this has happened to me recently *again*?!) ;-* i think there would have to be be better options. how much are you going to lose in acceleration and climbing ability carrying all that extra weight? not to mention the additional wind load of the increased front profile of the bladder itself. while i'm all into getting less expensive and more locally sourced renewable fuels*, there's got to be some point at which the advantages are outweighed by the downsides.

As far as extra weight, this is a 6.2L Diesel, 400 extra pounds will not bother it. :) >--> J**p lunch again tmw in Alviso; you going to make it again? ;-) no immediate plans to make it back down there, we should have done it in 2004... :) >-->cheers! >-->e >--> >-->* just finished filling the MBZ with BioD again; this time made from >-->used oil from an in-state potato chip factory,... cool. john >-->> >-->>> -->> >-->> >-->>> -->> http://storesense.megawebservers.com/HS2048/Detail.bok?no=4 >-->> >-->>> -->> >-->> >-->>> -->> >-->> >-->>> http://storesense.megawebservers.com/HS2048/Categories.bok?category=Bed+Traction+Weight >-->> >-->>> -->> >-->> >-->>> -->> john >--> ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #2167 **********************************
