Thanks for the tip. When I went to members, it says you joined 
September 9, 2007. Since that is two days AFTER the September 7, 2007 
post, I don't know what to think. Perhaps this reflects joining, 
then unjoining, then joining again. I'm not sure why someone would do 
this, though.

WOW! You know a whole lot more than me about how spammers operate.
