Hi
You wrote - Why are we getting unsolicited ads on this reflector? 

Probably because just like your address is N7ZM@juno.com and could get
stuck on a spam list, the reflector is yaesu@contesting.com and somehow
people think it's a person. I've gotten a bunch of oddballs like this one
that seem to think Yaesu is my name (they said "Hi Yaesu!")
The make money ads don't bother me anywhere near as much as the links to
porn sites. It's gotten to the point that if somebody sends me a "Check
this site out" I'll just delete it woithout looking unless there's a note
that tells me what it is.
