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.

it gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe
flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness
