We really have to admire their careful screening procedures! Does anyone
think it was the academic excellence of the electronic newsgroup (treating
it as an individual), or the sheer genius of the users (in which case, how
many thousands of us are they adding to their databases?). I've never seen
the sellers of email addresses for spam purposes described as a "recognised
source" before!
Highly amused,
Lesley Robertson
