[Elecraft] Is it just me?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

There several such programs that people implement to reduce "spam". 

Like Roger, I just delete anything I get like that. Occasionally I hear from
someone (one is a relative) who asks why I never responded. I just tell them
my response was killed by their spam filter. That is true.

I immediately delete such messages! It may be genuine but it sure looks like
a troll looking to see if it's a "live" email address.
