    Absolutely not! It must be your browser my friend. [​IMG]

    BTW, why don't you introduce yourself? It is highly unusual for anyone to come on board and place a complaint first. [​IMG]

    It is VERY unusual for me to do this as well, Brother. The "panic" arose because of a dual-purpose email address. (I am involved in law enforcement as well. This makes spam and security an issue). No, it is most assuredly not my browser, and since my ability to deduce is not the worst in the world the only "wild card" I could find was this website. I did not accuse, BTW, I asked. And I might add, an interrogative is not, by definition (they way I used it), a complaint.

    I'm writing a book on neoDarwinism, IDT and Creationism. I joined to get input from fellow educated (EDUCATED) Christians.

    P.S. This is the first time in 30 years I have been rightfully chastised for poor behavior by anyone from NYC. Touche'.

    Greetings Rev. Noble,

    The email address that I use here is a secondary and expendable email address from my Road Runner account. I really don't remember using this email address (actively) anywhere else on the Web.

    Recently, I began to get spam emails on this account. The emails were disguised as being from religious sources. They were infected with viruses that Road Runner cleaned before I got them.

    Somebodymust have remotely harvested my email address then spammed me with malicious intent. I also wonder if anyone else here has seen this kind of activity in their email.

    It has trailed off, so I am still using the account here. It would be easy for me to delete this account and create a new secondary account. I will do that if needed.

    At any rate the Baptist Board is one of the most dependable bulletin boards I visit.

    Dave.
