I know it's off topic, and I appologize, but I lurk on this mailing list using a disposable address to avoid spam, and now I'm receiving it as a result of being on the list (or posting to it). I have now received three separate Microsoft emails (security updates and such) at this address, which is only used for sending and receiving mail from the list. Pretty annoying for someone who doesn't use their products. Thankfully I can just whip up a new address and resubscribe, but I figured I'd let you folks know in case you're receiving the same crap. - Gabriel =====

Obviously they're not actually from Microsoft - it's more than likely a spammer has picked your email up from one of the webarchives. The "security updates" from "Microsoft" are always a Trojan / virus etc. <sumoraigabe-php@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20040621060008.49284.qmail@web50209.mail.yahoo.com...
