Thats great. Thanks. This started to happen sometime around June looking at
the sender address and my inbox.  It would be nice to be opt-in vs opt-out
and that labels are crafted to not confuse the ops list with others. I also

Consistent with culture and history. Course adjustment ++.

Hope thats constructive. Thanks!
