I have been busy for a couple of days, but I'll be happy to track this
slime down tomorrow & stomp them, tomorrow evening.
Until then, assume this jerk doesn't read the PICList nor care about
anything but getting paid to send e-mail to people (Or just paid, and if
they cannot send e-mail, at least they got paid.) I should be able to
track them & get their e-mail account closed, web pages shut down, etc.
- sorry I've been so busy the last couple days!
