    this is a great example of open source developers responding to the wants, needs and complaints of the community... oh wait a second, they aren't responding at all

    Is there any way one can actualy find out what Sender ID _is_, without increasing one's exposure to patent infringement lawsuits?

    A message to Microsoft: please understand that open source is the key to your long term survival. Embrace it, or die. Open source is the cornucopia of software technology: it will create a hundred million new software consumers, and most of these will be potential new clients.

    I'm sure Bill and Steve paused in their reading of slashdot to make a note of your message.

    It would be nice to know wtf Sender ID is....I am new around here but maybe we could have definitions in articles, just a thought?

    I guess I will just have to look it up in Wikipedia...they are authoritative aren't they?
