Also, what about those of us who have signed on from home, so our company name does not even appear in the e-mail address?  I think we should leave it the way it is and use the Delete key, as Gunter suggests.

Subject: [TN] AW: membership limitations to TechNet

Kevin

When we discussed the usefulness of the internet for a forum in 1992 together with Dieter Bergman and Werner Engelmaier nobody ever thought that the net would once become such a public domain.
I do agree that Dieters initial idea of such a platform is misused nowadays for promotional reasons. However, limiting the forum to IPC members seems a very hard restriction for me. Compared to the useful mails, the spams are rare and I can well live with them using my DELETE button.
