True, but I still wade through. I reasd via Agent. I've
found it useful to zip down the "Subject" list first and

But it's easy enough to filter - get rid of everything cross-posted to a
politics group, get rid of grunge, jaqueline and the people (I mean
"person") who play with her, get rid of people endlessly moaning about
Holland [shurely shome mishtake? - ed.], people who can't figure out how
to use simple pieces of home technology, boring pedants, senile fools,
and you have mainly done the trick!

If you were spending four days in Lisbon, and 4 days 'somewhere else'
with access to a beach, where would you want to go? We're looking at
somewhere accessible by train or bus- I've looked into a few places on
the Algarve, but it's hard to choose. As it's early May, I don't expect
it to be the height of the tourists season, but we'd rather find
somewhere with 'charm.'
