[Elecraft] Gregory

It's pretty easy to tell that a link is dangerous - just look at the
context. If they say "click here" with no explanation, Eric himself couldn't
convince me to click on the link. After all, people's e-mail addresses do
get hijacked and usually the person has no idea it happened - it's not their
computer that is infected, just someone who happened to have the 'victim's'
e-mail address in a computer with a virus. 

And, of course, a note without a call sign and no explanation as to why no
call sign was offered but which has a link to click is just about as big a
"red flag" as one could find.

Stronger than that!

Up until now, this list has been remarkably free of phishing and spam. 
Someone needs to tighten down the screws on the spam filtering, as 
"Gregory" has clearly discovered a way in. I would hate to lose the 
levity and learning that this list presents, but if the two recent 
pieces of junk are followed by more, I will have to put Elecraft on my 
forbidden list. Not good!
