If you use gmail (especially if you forward andrew mail to gmail) PLEASE
add a filter in gmail [under the 'settings' menu] preventing email 
from stat.cmu.edu from going in your spam folder.  I will occasionally 
send email from my statistics account, and you need to be able to read 
and respond to it.
