This may be a coincidence, maybe not.
Since the recent thread concerning bifocals, I have recieved numerous spam mails about bifocals. I don't ever remember seeing any emails before with bifocal in the subject line. My sbc Spam blocker cuaght them, but thought this was strange.
Maybe need to re-think having my email adress listed in my portfolio.
Odd....

I would remove your email anyway Brad, there are web searchers just looking for email addies.
Just type Bradp or your email address into google and see how easy it is.
I average 150 emails a day and 99% are spam,interestingly a few about photography and cameras but no bi-focals yet, I'll monitor it.I'm going to give firefox a go.
Paul.

This sometimes happens to me at other sites. It almost feels like the spammers are crawling through my cookies or cache and sending emails based on the keywords. But it's probably my imagination.
One quick way to protect your email is to simply put realemail.removethispart@domain.com. Most basic users will figure it out.

Spyware does exactly that. Grab a copy of Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware. |
