Lee, I saw that too. When it appeared on my first maillist, I thought it might be just what it purported to be, someone sharing a find of general interest. Then it appeared on all my lists, and I smelled a rat. I don't know how list owners can stop that technique, other than reviewing every message before they are posted. We are on the honor system, and most of us are honorable. A few aren't.
