QUESTION FOR ANYONE WHO HAS DONE IT

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Jacqi,

No, not from RR or the this list, but from xxxxxx at unot.in  I've always received a lot of spam, so I am extremely careful. I've been using the same email address for about 15 years and it's displayed on several websites.

I've never acknowledged them even by bouncing or marking as spam with the ISP, but they keep coming at the rate of a dozen a day. I'm pretty sure I've never subscribed to any such service, though the topics are certainly inviting and I imagine some do fall into the trap. I just wanted to be sure that I'm not missing out on some good resources. 

Thanks a lot Jacqi
