[Lnc-business] LNC business email list

[Daniel Wiener]

Alicia, you can also set up a filter in Gmail which will over-ride its spam
settings, and thus prevent it from routing emails with certain
characteristics (e.g., from particular senders) to the spam folder.  When I
receive an email from Tim Hagan or Ron Windeler or Bill Redpath, Gmail
places a bright yellow banner on top of the email which says "*This message
was not sent to Spam because of a filter you created."*

*"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we
guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we
compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if
this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare
the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or
experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it
disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key
to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it
doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”*
-- Richard Feynman
