Eric,
I didn't mean to slam the list's security. I was just trying to narrow down
the possible sources and thought that if others here had received that same
little ad it would give me a clue. Looks like nobody did.
My ISP generally does a pretty good job of filtering those and being in
Washington state probably helps reduce it a bit.
It is very possible that my web site has opened some flood gates because I
just added a "Mailto" tag to it. If that's the case I'll remove that tag.
I apologie if I've offended.
