I don't know if I'm one of the top 100, but I'm a frequent loudmouth. I
joined LUGNET (officially) just the other day, and I've received 2-3 daily
emails from Ms. Brodie since then. I didn't make the connection until you
pointed it out, though. Interestingly (and perhaps as a corroboration) the
Brodie emails only go to my Excite address, though lately I've been posting
through my email at work.
I finally set up a filter to block anything from Ms. Brodie, so that's the
last I saw of "her." I'll post here if anything else pops up.
Dave!
