This may/may not mean anything. Some days ago I got a brief mail from reminding me to "re-up". I quit them months ago when they wanted to slam me for some absurb amount-- $153.00--to be my secondary. I deleted their email; then in October my ~/Maildir got wiped. (I-done -it[?]) FWIW, I had an Amazona glitch around 16:00 localtime yesterday. Amazon couldn't verify my Visa card. I retried hours later and the DDoS seems to have resolved itself. gary PS: Time to bring back USENET:-) > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
