yup, sure does. > 2. Hey! How'd the spammer get that info!!! If your name appears on any project anywhere, it may well have been harvested. As you yourself point out, sourceforge addresses have a pretty easy formula to figure out: <username>@users.sourceforge.net. That said, I'd hardly be surprised if VA started selling off that info. OTOH, I haven't received any spam from them (that I know of). :) - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
