My pleasure! Been down the path twice shutting SPAM off. Ignoring and
trashing it didn't work; it kept increasing. Enough outrageous scam and
porn advertising can turn Dr. Jeckyl into Mr. Hyde. Learned the "do not"
things in the initial posting the hard way.
BTW, SPAMers use automated software to cull email addresses from the USENET
newsgroups. How to avoid SPAM from this: Use a garbled "from" when
posting to USENET newsgroups and explain how to ungarble it in your sig
block. Some have gotten wise to inserting "NOSPAM" somewhere in the
address and will pull it out; use something original.
