[TheForge] Watch out for this s p a m!

[Bruce .]

Jerry,
No, I checked.  Not there.
Gmail has a nasty feature that recalls email addresses "for your
convenience." Start typing a name in the "to" slot and a list of names and
addresses comes up -- some of which you don't even WANT there.  Can't get
rid of them.  But Ray's address is not in that either.  So I figure his
account must have been hacked after he died.
