Rick, et al. I for one do not want "something done". One reason I like arrl.net is because it does NOT filter the mail. I prefer to do my own filtering, as many people do. Also, if we filter, we will find that we start getting complaints from hams who lost mail because we chose to reject something they wanted.

Something has got to be done. They don't like to hear us blame someone else. They think it is the ARRL's problem. I've gotten two phone calls today about the arrl.net email being blocked, plus one email from an expert, who, as you know because I sent you a copy, is convinced the ARRL is the problem, not Comcast, not a third party host. By the way, my k5ur@arrl.net was just blocked and I do NOT use Comcast, so why was it blocked? 73, Rick - K5UR
