Re: A case of death wobble today
 

I have an ISP provider that offers NO spam control options. And I
am wedded to that provider for other reasons that tend to raise
my blood pressure. I'd switch in a minute if I could.

My ISP only allows 2 e-mail boxes, both are in use. Most good
ones allow 10 or so, makes it easy to change addresses when the
spam traffic gets too heavy. Use two for business, rest can be
used for public exposure.

I have software that allows me to look at and delete the messages
while still on the POP3 server. But I have not found an
antivirus, anti spam software that runs in an automatic mode to a
POP3 server. The other option was to download all the crap and
delete it locally. The SVEN hit started at 4mb per hour, dwindled
down to ONLY 1mb per hour a month later.

I'm back on the air now but I have the bogus address for NG
stuff. Sigh.

Except putting a longer shackle on increases it's leverage on the
spring, almost instantly pulling the arc out of the spring, for no
change.

Re: A case of death wobble today
 

My '81 FSM makes it look as though the CJs that year made the stabalizer an
option. Mine is certainly NOT installed in the same manner as the manual
suggests it should be, therefore my guess is that one of the POs installed
it.
