<DIV>Steve, As you probably already know, there are a host of ways these
creeps get your email. Two of the most common are: if you ever used this
particular email addy to fill out any form online, and if you have a web page,
does the email addy show up on it? A web crawler could have plucked it off a
webpage (if you have one). <SPAN class=485141103-04092002><FONT

color=#0000ff>Whenever I fill out a form online, I first create a disposable
email from Sneakemail (<A
href = "http://sneakemail.com">http://sneakemail.com</A>). I have on occasion
also made use of Spam Gourmet (<A
href = "http://www.spamgourmet.com">http://www.spamgourmet.com</A>), but
Sneakemail seems to meet my needs more closely. There are probably others,
too. I would suggest to everyone that they become familiar with both, as they
can go a long way towards keeping these weasels out of your
inbox.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

correspondence. I'm sure Jason and Brian do everything they can to keep our
email addresses out of the hands of these pond scum. Apparently
there is no correlation between greed and stupidity, so the crawlers get more
and more sophisticated, while our state's congressional representatives keep
voting against any legislation that might put some real teeth into ending this
curse.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=485141103-04092002><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#0000ff>I
knew the address would get compromised sooner or later. I also trust my spam
filter, SpamKiller, although I will no longer be upgrading it since it got
bought by McAfee. It caught this piece of poop I wrote about. What saddens me
is now the floodgates will open, and I'll have to change it to something else.
We'll hang on as long as we can.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
