from Dr. Mac....

I got one today about vitamins for cats. He used a different e-mail address

and that's how it made it to my inbox and not deleted as junk e-mail.

From: Dr. Mac Daraskale [skyranger@...]

Text at end of e-mail:

Spam = an unsolicited message that is broadcast to all the members on a

list. It is usually an ad of some sort. People sign onto a list and then

write all the e-mail addresses down and send the equivalent of junk mail to

them. Really gets my goat.
