If not Luddite, at least curmudgeon <grin>

I can't say that I would be a frequent user, either, since I barely
have time to get through my emails, Linuxtoday, and a few posts from
the Ubuntu forum.

OTOH, I don't want to burst Jeff's bubble, and Jabber would certainly
do no harm.

I'm not sure I would benefit from the spam filtering, since I almost
never see spam on the CLUE lists. 'course that may be because gmail
has superb spam filters.
