I'm actually starting to find some merit in the COM architecture (maybe I've been using Windows too long...) And two: Oh, boy. More spam. > Hi! I was looking around the Internet yesterday, and I saw your web page, and > I was wondering if you would like to make some money from it!

Are we supposed to believe that these advertising people were just randomly surfing the web and decided to check out a set of development tools? More like their BOT came across the page and found an e-mail address on it. Otherwise they'd have mailed info AT cygnus DOT com or something, not the mailing list address... Much as I hate to say it, it starts to look like it might be time to block posting to subscribers only. :/ Or alternatively, add a front-end mailfilter to catch things that mention key-phrases common in junkmail. ;P Especially since 'bots to rove the 'net and grab e-mail addresses from the text of webpages are more and more common. --- Jeremy 'Loki' Blackman loki AT maison-otaku DOT net loki AT dragoncat DOT net (mailing lists) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
