        I would like to apologize to the readers of the list and to Alfred
        Huger for the recent submission and subsequent (misguided) approval
        of a spoofed message.

        This message was spoofed and was NOT submmited by Al.  It's a resend
        of an old submission.  I should have caught this, but in error, I
        didn't.  There were several other submissions that were also spoofed
        (l0pht.com, secnet.com -- which incidentaly bounces).  I hopefully
        caught all of them.  However, I am new here, helping out aleph1
        while he's away.  I am like a substitute teacher and the kids aren't
        being very nice.
