Why do people do this anyway?  They must know it annoys people and brings
down the reputation of their company.  Would you buy from someone who
constantly spammed your inbox?  Unless they are service providers charging
by the packet :-)

Subject: [OT]: If Finally happened!


Just a heads up for everybody;

I have an email address that I use EXCLUSIVELY for the PIC List. It has
not been given to a single other person (except for the 2000+ on this
list) and has not been posted anywhere (except of course in the
archives).

Until today, it has been sacred. The odd virus scare here and there -
but that can't be helped. Then today - it happened. This inbox was full
of SPAM

Just wanted to let everybody know that your addresses are perhaps more
exposed than we might have thought. I do hope that someone has not
subscribed simply for access to our addresses.

For me I'll just delete that account and setup a new one.

Cheers,

Sean
