   Let's see - all my email (and there's a lot of it - bits of it quite 
private) went into some 'unknown server' in Canada for what, nearly three 
days?  Plus dozens of them bounced, and I've been auto-unsubbed from a 
bunch of lists - folks (my family, among others) see the 'no longer valid' 
message and don't think to try again, they just think I've disappeared...

   I wonder if PayPal sent me anything that's now compromised? I wonder if 
all of my credit card companies (that I pay electronically) sent me Stuff?

   Ben old buddy, you and I seem to have quite dissimilar definitions of 
"fun" - because I'm here to tell you - it was a lot of things - fun *not* 
being among them.

   Here's hoping gmail.com stays right where it belongs...
