Wish more people would do this!  ESPECIALLY with MY E-mail address!!!!!!   ;-{

I have been using a slightly different but similar java script on my Web 
pages for some time now.  So if you read the "Hot News" page and see that 
you can click on your call and send an E-mail, be assured that your address 
is there only in the script version.

I'm sure these harvesting robots will eventually catch on to this 
trick.   Anyway, it's too late for most of us, as we're on everybody's spam 
and virus list already!

At least this isn't as bad as N1BUG has had.  Sorry you're so popular, Paul!)

PS - we've had several auroras recently, and we're just now coming into the 
time of year that is considered the maximum auroral season.  So hopefully 
we'll get some more in the next month or two.
