[TenTec] Phishing Attempt on list members

[Al Gulseth]

Wonder if this is related to the leak of 1.4 billion email addresses from a 
spam database that came to light yesterday? I haven't seen the message in 
question show up (at least not yet) but I've had several weight loss spams in 
the inbox the past few days. (They're wasting their time with me as those on 
the list who know me personally will vouch - a co-worker of mine once joked 
that if I turned sideways my shadow would disappear HI HI!!)

73, Al
