I've also gotten several e-mails from a cablemodem account with
these types of attachments. However, I've NOT gotten them at the
e-mail address that I'm subscribed to this list from. In fact, I
got them at an e-mail address I haven't published in over a year
now. *shrug*

So I can say for certain that *my* address wasn't gleaned from this
list.

Of course, I never look at attachments anyway. *grin*

And for the obligatory on-topic part: I just bought new rotors and
pads for my dak, now I get the joy of replacing them. *sigh*
