Hi again folks,

Thanks to all the helpful people who replied to my post. I guess that
I must be leading a sheltered life because all of this spamming
stuff is very new to me!

I was, to say the least, more than embarassed and a little bit shocked
at some of the spam that has recently floated my way. As a result I
was eager to discover if any of you had encountered the same `noise'.

Thanks again for all your helpful suggestions!

And... special thanks to Brian Somers for pointing out that this
post is somewhat misplaced in a technical group. Gee Brian, that
was a real eye-opener for me! 

That said, lets put aside all this unpleasant spam stuff and get back
to talking about FreeBSD!

Don't ever lose your sense of humour Brian ;) 


Cheers,

Andrew.
