Yup, this looks like the one. I can't recall seeing the message, though. Maybe my spamassassin ate it :-) On Tuesday, 25 February 2003 at 15:24:20 -0600, Kevin D.

Why, in heavens' name... I checked yesterday, as did Peter Wemm. I created the account in question years ago only for travel information. The last cookie issued was to a location in Boston MA. We don't know the date of the last use, but the last time I was in Boston was in July 2001 for the USENIX convention. Of course I've closed the account.
