Today I (and apparently 72 others, including some MoPo members) received the
unsolicited email below (personal email addresses redacted for privacy). It
appears to be some type of legal message about the destruction of memorabilia
linked to entities dissolved 20 years ago. Why it was sent today is a mystery
and I've no time to investigate it. If anyone cares to venture a guess, please
jump in. Very cryptic, odd. - d.
