BEWARE--Someone is getting e-mail addr. from this forum to add to SPAM list

This is not a newsflash here. It's certainly not a newsflash to anybody who
has posted to any Usenet newsgroups with a valid email address anytime
recently.

Speaking of off-topic.

My e-mail box has been bombarded with Virus loaded e-mails
since I first used this forum a couple of months ago. I
suspected that someone took my e-mail address and added it
to their spam list.

So this morning, I created a new e-mail user and address
(loraine), posted to this forum, and an hour later
received the BOGUS MICROSOFT SECURITY bulletin that has
the SWEN virus attached at my new e-mail address.

NO ONE else had this e-mail address. And I have 4 other e-
mail accounts with my ISP that I have NOT used on this
forum and they have not received the Bogus e-mails. So,
this forum, is where this person/group is picking up e-
mails and adding them to the SPAM list to send out one of
the latest virus threats.
Beware--Do not give out your e-mail address on these
newsgroups.
