Ward, I got one of the e-mails from the hacker. What I don't understand is how I'm on your e-mail list. I recognize your name from here and probably from certain magazines, but we've never met and don't know each other personally.
I don't know anyone who would send me an e-mail about you so I never opened it up, I just deleted it, so no harm done.
A year or 2 ago the same thing happened to me and it was sending out e-mails for some Canadian drugs.
