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.
