Hello all,

As you likely have noticed, more and more spammers have found this Forum and are sending messages here.

Unfortunately I signed up for this Forum with my primary private email account and I'm worried spammers will be able to harvest it.  Remember that one graphic porn email that came through?  I know all of us got it sent to our home email accounts, too.  With more and more spammers finding us, I'm concerned we'll atract more with such sophisticated ability.  Right now I receive no spam on the email account I'm using here and I would be really sad if that changes.

What I'm going to do is delete my account and then re-subscribe with a "free" Yahoo email account.  That way if it gets spammed I can just go get another free account someplace else.  Guess I'll be starting all over again as a "newbie." 

At work, our security people tell us to use "free" email accounts from groups like Yahoo or MSN to use on the Internet.  I just heard on the news that 9 out ot 10 email messages now sent are SPAM.  Sad commentary.  I know Dr. B and her husband are working so hard to make ths Forum a safe place for us all but the spammers always seeem to have all the tools and money.

So I'm going to delete this current account, but back on with a Yahoo account soon.
