Dear Paul I assume that the fault lies with someone who thinks their address is my address. Actually there is more than one. The first was Henri who I assume works for Atmosphere Music which is part of BMG.com. I now have someone called Daemon which I know is not [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is very frustrating and stems from registering a Trade Mark years ago before web domains were an issue. If I had thought at the time I'd have paid the extra �200 to register the name more widely. None of the posts actually come from the person themselves. These are definitely wrongly addressed emails and not spam. The problem arises when one person whose email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] thinks erroneously that his email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] They aren't very similar but Henri works in a division of BMG called Atmosphere Music. The other problem is that he is not the only one. There's Daemon in High Wycombe, someone in Leicestershire, someone else who thinks I want the private details of his Building Society account and as I mentioned earlier a member of the Royal Yacht Club. No one will admit to causing a problem. Bob Croxford =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
