John In Remote Kansas on LIK's cookie

IvanB
LIK and I share one email address. It is withheld in the MudCat Database, so we are not listed openly there.
As you may or may not know, you must have your own unique email address in order to be a unique member of MudCat (and have your own cookie).
Since we have no other reason to have separate email addresses, all of our email comes to the one address - and we use LIK's cookie for both our posts to the Cat.

I can't be sure that the SPAMMER got our email address here, but we have not recently communicated an interest in music or book publishing elsewhere, so the assumption is that, regardless of how he got the address, it was probably triggered by my recent posts to this string.

Like you, we avoid publishing our email address, simply because we know that it inevitably leads to a lot of useless junk mail.

PLEASE note that I am not in any way accusing anyone at MudCat of anything very serious, and I apologize if my post made it sound like that.

I am curious whether others have found people "mining" the Cat for commercial purposes.

I guess if there's really a subject for discussion here, it probably should be a new string, but I'm due off to listen to some music now.

John (JIRK).
