Well, you're both on the ClassicCmp list, which is echoed to a web site...
And yes, there are spambots that comb web pages looking for e-mail
addresses. I know, because I have gotten Spam on my alphapager, and I
*know* I've never posted to a usenet newsgroup from my pager. 8^)
I received the same spam. And I did not know that this list was
being archived (other than by interested members). Will the standard
X-archive directive prevent this? (Some so-called "archive" systems
ignore it). I get enough junkmail as it is, due to my outspokenness
in certain newsgroups -- I think of this list as a bit of a break.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
