All, I have just received a spam from "SoundStone" after they harvested my e-mail address from my Web page. The subject line read "Greeting from SoundStone". The second paragraph of the message reads: "I recently visited Jeremy's Lego Page while browsing the lego maniac's ring and want to explore the possibility of working with you to promote music on-line." Whatever you do, do NOT verify your e-mail address to these sleazeballs by responding to the e-mail message. Cheers, - jsproat -- Jeremy H.

(...) Jeremy, would you please forward me the email message, I did not recieve the spam. I should take action and at least send out a mailing to members, if not try to track these guys down. That is a CLEAR abuse of the Webring -- I don't know how (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)
