From: Bill Pickering <?????????????????> Subject: Junk Mail Dear Steve, Thank you for the prompt response to my request for addition to the pipes mailgroup. I received the latest pipes digest a couple of days ago, so everything seems to be working. However, this evening I found email addressed to me and several other people advertising a humidor for $99.95 or something. This wouldn't be a Bad Thing(tm) if I were in the market for a humidor. Since I'm not, I considered it junk mail and tossed it. But then I started wondering how he got my address. I guess he could have pulled it from the archives, if this copy is already there, but this message was only to about six people, not the entire list of new members. Has anyone else mentioned this? Do I now get electronic junk mail forever? If I win ten million dollars, will Ed McMahon pop up in the middle of my session? Is this guy really so interested in my system that he really wants an entire eight meg core dump to read? Will Kimberly have the President's baby, or begin that correspondence course to become a CIA hit person? But seriously folks, I'm not particularly fond of any junk mail, but I'm not going to get my gun out either. I guess I'm just wondering if you had heard about anything like this before. I guess it could be one of the members flogging this thing. Well, enough ranting. I'm enclosing the header from the message to see if you know this guy. I'll cut him some slack this time, I guess. Sorry if I've wasted your time with this. I'll go take my medication now. Thanks, Bill >From ????????????????????
