IMRSS was run by Ron Guilmette out in California. ORBS used to be
Dorkslayers and is operated by Alan Brown.

(finally) but Earthlink has had a lot of problems in the past.
Earthlink USED to be a huge spam sewer (yes, I meant sewer, not spewer

are no longer spam sources, and I would agree with you, but that isn't
under Greg's direct control.
