If so, this could be where the SPAM bots get some their e-mail addresses. Just a thought..... /Bob ------------------------------------------------------------ "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei ------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Erdmann - Core Team Member & Webmaster The NGC/IC Project - http://www.ngcic.org e-mail: bobe@xxxxxxxxx
