   Ah, but the path of least resistance for one may not be the same path as   
   someone else's...  :)   Personally, I prefer the old fashioned way of   
   getting my qwk or other mail packets, in most cases.  In the particular   
   case of Chowdanet, the email way has proved beneficial, and not   
   disabling it became the path of least resistance there, but usually I'd   
   rather get it the old way (and still do, on occasion, even at Chowda).    
   Sending my replies via email never did work out as well as getting the   
   packets, for whatever reason, so I have to upload them the old way   
   anyhow.  :)   
      
   I do, however, hear what you are saying...  and that may well be true   
   for others.  :)
