Anyone else see all the dozens of posts that seem to be going into the "OT: cleaning up after a breakin" thread? I'm assuming something somewhere is reposting existing messages. Anyone know what's going on here, or is my mail reader / mail server doing something weird? -- Chris Hope - The Electric Toolbox - http://www.electrictoolbox.com/ >> Stay informed about: dozens of posts to "cleaning up after a breakin"
