And certainly nothing against Ronnie personally, mainly a reminder of
potentially serious problems encountered online. The assumption when
something appears on the list is that it is for the list members'
consumption, hence the "heads up" posts. Especially since we just recently
got the ability to post photos and attachments to the group.

My wife had a Yahoo account that was hacked a few years ago. I still
receive occasional email from it with subject lines like "look at this" and
so on. So name and recognized address is no guarantee. We've all seen the
spam messages on these lists from member who oftentimes posted a message
from the same address hours or days earlier, only to have their accounts
hijacked.
