I created this hotmail account soley for the use of "Nancy Mignone" and ONLY for techwr-l. I have used it for no other purpose.
I get lots and lots of spam mail. Today I got an invitation to join a pornographic site, which is somewhat unfortunate, considering I am at work. Now "Nancy" never in her life would even have contemplated a site devoted soley to pornography, so how "Nancy" got this particular email, I'll never know.

It's Hotmail, not TECHWR-L. I rarely, if ever, get spam to the email address with which I've subscribed to TECHWR-L. But my Hotmail addy gets TONS! I don't use that address to subscribe to anything -- I created it simply so I had a way to retrieve my regular email over the web while travelling, because up till now Rogers -at- Home here in Canada did not provide a way to do that directly.
