[R-390] Some body is spoofing my old account!

Group,

The davidbr549 id is valid.  I received a couple emails directly from David
a couple of weeks back enquiring about some R-1051 parts.  He types all his
messages in CAPS...I don't think he is yelling, just a bad typing habit....I
used to do it...it was just easier.  Quit doing it when I was told by
several folks that it was hard to read that way...

Someone has changed the settings on the reflector software and it now goes
to the individual instead of the group when one hits "Reply"....it goes to
the individual and is copied to the group when one hits "Reply All".  I
think it used to be the other way around didn't it?  I know I misfired
several notes to the group instead of the intended individual when hitting
"Reply" in the past.

John B's note came "To" me and was "Cc"d to the group even though it appears
he didn't actually direct the note to me at all....I have to guess that's
the way the reflector software is set up at the moment....making it appear
that the mass list mailing is directed to you individually....

I sent this message to the list only....how did it show up?

Cecil...
