Wow! On the one hand, I am conforted to discover that I wasn't personally
chosen to receive that disturbing piranah tale (my first time being
spammed); on the other hand, it is sobering to discover who's out there.
Many thanks for those of you who put this into perspective for me.
However, I was surprised to find how private I had made this very public
medium. My mail box was _my_ personal space: _I_ selected my contact
groups or _I_ received personal mail. This noxious message, then, became
a violation. I rather dislike this new world, but am now street smarter...
