Jerome Fine replies: I received the above PRIVATE e-mail from: Tony Manzo <vgo_tony_m(a)yahoo.com> I am attempting to track down just how Tony obtained my e-mail address plus if anyone else received the above e-mail. Also if anyone has heard of Tony and if he is legitimate? And does anyone know where Tony is located - which city? As far as I know, the only possible way Tony could have obtained my e-mail address was through cctalk(a)classiccmp.org since I first started to use this random e-mail address just a week ago. OR someone who is aware of my PDP-11 addiction gave it to him? In either case, I don't have an objection. But if there has been any hacking, then I would like to know about that aspect! In any case, if I am receiving spam via cctalk(a)classiccmp.org, then others need to be warned as well! If not, then I want to reply. Has anyone else received such an e-mail? Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.
