C'mon guys, give me a little bit of credit for having some knowledge of
this stuff. If you'll look at the postings on this thread you'll see
that I never claimed, or implied, that this nuisance is emanating from

some lister's computer and is doing its thing. Hopefully, it'll end shortly.
Enough on this. Thread closed.
