Case in point: I would almost use up my limit for the day simply if I
responded to Patrick Corliss and no one else. Also, I don't believe
I suggested that software would handle proxies, since obviously it
would not.  Read carefully.

So I gather you can be put down as one who would prefer the post
limit rules to be circumvented by artifice, rather than by the
establishment of some recognized procedure that would allow
a full response by someone being deluged.  So be it.
