I may be getting paranoid but just got a request for an article in one of my older posts signed Josef-B. Is this somebodies very painstaking new way of gathering addresses by posing as one of the top postes on the group? Anyone else had this happen? Sorry Joe if it was you I'll send it but am getting too much SPAM lately.
(Not my real name or address)
I would suggest a third alternative: Josef-B may very well be one of the innumerable "lurkers" in this group and a totally legitimate entity. Joe Rosenberg never spelled his name Josef, so I think that you can dismiss him as a possible source; however, what you describe would be a very inefficient way to harvest new addresses.
