[gui-talk] What, exactly, is a bulk review? (was Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Review of NLS player and digitaldownloads, etc.)

No.  It's happened before.  There are some security programs that label
messages this way for reasons I don't remember but I've seen it before.  I
just ignore it but occasionally someone will make the whole thing worse by
typing the word numerous times in the header and it gets out of hand then.

Albert,

you? Greedy? No, it's just that you're being driven mad by this bulk bulk 
bulk bulk thing. Me, too. It's got to stop, sometime. Well, doesn't it?

I realize the feds aren't responsible for what RFB And D might charge but
I'm hoping the organization in the spirit of cooperation or goodness will
decide not to charge as much as $10.  Although it isn't much to pay.  Maybe
I'm just feeling greedy today.

The Feds will have nothing to do with the price of RFB&D keys, if
any, it is a RFB&D matter.
