Hi Doug

I tried that, but then couldn't always remember just what address I'd used
at what site - particularly annoying if it's needed to log in. I've just
resorted to fairly draconian email filters that are sometimes a bit over
the top, but get the job done ;)

I don't think mining of David's lists is at fault here, given that they've
used several addresses for me and I only post here with this one. Plus
one of the addresses was one I used to register with Search400, but I
stopped using them once I realised they were passing my address to
others, when I'd ticked the box to opt out from list sharing. I guess
maybe they've just aquired such a list and are busy making use of it :(

Regards, Martin
