[ale] Still dealing with Nextel

[Robert L. Harris]

I'm sending the messages from my firewall on my charter cablemodem.  This is
where this email is coming from even.  

Nextel claims they're not doing any firewalls or blocking but I can't
find the techs themselves to verify, apparantly they all live and work
in a very black box that only accepts contact from monkyes carrying
post-it notes.  No phone or email to them......
