[Hallicrafters] Blank Messages - A Reflector Question

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Gerry,

Some are user mistakes, others are attempts to trick readers to click on a 
hypertext link that takes them to a bad place etc.

The software that 'mailman.qth.net' is currently running under is not as 
efficient in spotting and removing potentially dangerous posts as the former 
owner used. This system is pretty much human-free!

The days of having only one spam post get through in X years are gone. Your 
best bet is to install a good virus protection program and to keep it 
updated. A good firewall is helpful also. When in doubt, do not open it! 
Life will go on if you accidentally fail to read every post!
