[hpsdr] Attention Charter.net addresses

[Glenn Thomas]

Hi Don.

I've had this problem with Charter on other lists as well as HPSDR. 
As near as I can tell, Charter subcontracts it's spam filtering 
somewhere other than Charter. That somewhere else seems to err on the 
side of false positives rather than false negatives. The result - I 
get almost no spam at all and, in some cases, I don't receive e-mail 
that isn't spam. Charter seems to be less than enthusiastic about 
dealing with this issue. The only options seem to be either to do 
like the old woman said (lay back and enjoy it) or find a different 
broadband provider.
