Also... As a preventive measure, try go give your e-mail address to a few people / organisations as possible. I once posted a message to an internet news group on an aviation topic (to do with why they dim the cabin lights for take-off and landing during the hours of darkness). Nothing for a few days, then the spam started coming. At first it was a company asking me if I wanted to lease a jumbo jet and a few travel adverts, but after a few months it was all loans, viagra, penis enhancement and naked teens. (if I had the last one, I wouldn't need the one before....) So we changed our e-mail address! Stuart
