[TNham] [QSL-Net] Spam

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 13:28:25 -0600

After I started getting SPAM in Korean from my arrl.net address, I killed
it.  I have five different e-mail addresses and the one I got 90% of the
SPAM on was the arrl.net address.  I have heard rumors that ARRL "sold" the
addresses - tell me it ain't so!
