THANK YOU for getting to the bottom of this. As of opening this URL, I official retract all my previous statements that I'd never heard of the list. That WAS me. Sorry. I had no clue when I posted that bug report that I'd be hurting myself more than helping others. It's a shame what the spammers have done to the intrnet. Hopefully tar was at least fixed. > 5.

At this point, I believe you, and apologize to the whole list for thinking freebsd sold my address. (But not for posting to the list, since I didn't know that's what I was doing.) > Please direct your ire in a more appropriate direction. Okay.... How bout them republicans? > 4.

I just make a procmail filter for that variant to go directly to my spam folder. I'm still glad I at least know why this happened. Thanks. P.S. I'd say it's still freebsd's fault for having a bug in tar... Just kidding! Just kidding! Just kidding! Over. And out. -Clint
