SPAM issue resolved. Thanks Bruce!

["Jeff Miller" <jmiller1964@hotmail.com>]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to pass along many thanks to Bruce Bowling of Careflight in
Lexington for his most excellent advice in reducing spam. I downloaded the 
free "Ad Aware" program from the web and ran it finding 4 suspicious cookies 
on my PC. After removing those files, I have not had a single piece of spam 
in three weeks! The software is completely free and a breeze to download, 
install and operate.

I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone dealing with SPAM on the list.

A hearty bolus of thanks, Bruce!
