I'm reposting the message below, as it's not shown up on either listserv after 
just under 2.5 hours after the original posting. Wayne says that the NRC 
listserv was a bit delayed after a move and some maintenance, but I don't know 
about the IRCA listserve. Again, my apologies for any inconvenience -pls.

Unfortunately, some spamscum - probably in the eastern European time zone, by 
the date stamp - spoofed or hacked my AOL mailbox around 1:15 CST January 28 
and sent out mass spam to everyone on my contact list.


The good news is that over 200 of these messages were blocked by your e-mail 
and ISP providers - and returned to me (ugh). The bad news is that many were 
not, if the queries from many of you are any indication.


AOL made me change my password this morning before I could access my e-mail 
account, so I'm hoping that the problem is over for now. This isn't the first 
time that my e-mail address has been spoofed, but it's probably the most 
extensive hack I've experienced since 1994, when I set up this e-mail account 
with AOL.


My apologies to all who were affected and annoyed, and thanks to all who sent 
queries to notify me that my e-mail had been compromised -Paul Swearingen, 
Topeka
