Oh, dear.
Stephen... I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but please don't give
advice in areas where you don't have competence. The above is simply
pointless - it has absolutely nothing to do with passwords or anything
else of that sort: Norm's email account is not in any way involved. The
spammers simply used his address - like someone pretending to be you and
borrowing money.
Norm - unfortunately, all you can do is subscribe using another email
address. Then, Vern will be able to block this one. The spammers aren't
doing this to you individually; they either harvested your address plus
the list mail address from the Net, or (possibly) compromised the email
program on your computer (I see you're using Windows LiveMail.)
Hopefully, it'll be a while before they hit someone here/this list
again.
