I think more people are affected by coronary heart diseases, but I don't forward all Heart Foundation appeals to ALUG main! If everyone did, then this list would quickly drown in the spam. =20
I disagree, its something that I am very proud of a close friend for=20 doing. I bet there are not many people on the list that would be able to=20 do it.
How can you disagree with that? Breast cancer killed less than 300 per million in 2004. Heart diseases killed over 430 per million. (From Mortality statistics: cause (Series DH2 no.31), ONS)
I support the ALUG with free hosting and there are a few members who=20 also have free hosting with us. I also have umpteen charity's who I=20 provide free hosting for as every little bit helps.
I thank you for that.
If one e-mail on the list helps to raise even another =A35 then I think=20 its worth while. [...] Why not just ignore it and get on with the day.
Because I want to raise the cost of posting off-topic chain emails to ALUG main until no-one thinks it worthwhile, not even for a fiver. This list is pretty good most of the time, so I'd be disappointed if it became a charity-centric www.spammuseum.co.uk
Hope that explains,
