ATTENTION NEWSGROUP ADMINISTRATOR

On Wednesday, August 27, 2003 I placed a message on your
"rec.pets.cats.rescue" Newsgroup entitled "I'm Terminally ILL: MIssy &
Rascal Need a Loving Home"

When I placed that message I foolishly used my real E-Mail address
without 'cloaking' it with a dummy insert to protect it from SPAM-hunter
robots. I am now being besieged with a torrent of malicious SPAM E-mail
as a result.

Please remove all of my NewsGroup messages and I will re-submit them
with the proper dummy inserts.

Thank you.

This is an unmoderated newsgroup, and there's no removing of your posts.
The toothpaste is out of the tube.

About the emails you're receiving, they're probably not spam but rather
worms and viruses and the fallout from them. You're not experiencing
anything that most of the rest of us aren't experiencing.

That is the risk one takes posting to newsgroups. However, there is another
worm attacking the net right now called Swen or Gibe.F. Read the following
