I guess you need to use what works for you. But I couldn't help thinking
"Most crime in England is committed by English people but I don't know
many Americans so I better classify them all as iffY" It's the start of
really bad thinking, both morally and internetally.

Hmzzz... Ik have both a .com and a .nl domain pointing to a Dutch IP
address... Does that mean my e-mail coming from the .com domain should be
kill-filed?
Also there are several TV stations using .nl and .tv domains from both the
Netherlands *and* Luxembourg... *sigh*
