Rob, before you get too worked up about this, I got it too... from the email address I used when I setup my up2date and RHN registration, which is NOT the same as this address, or any other address I've subscribed to any Redhat or Linux information on. So, whoever sent it had to have gotten the information directly from Redhat that THE William Ward at that address is also the same William Ward at this one... and only Redhat could know that (but they didn't send it to this address...) and even that's unlikely. Therefore, it was sent out to whatever address is on file with the RHN. Ergo, Redhat sent it out.
Yeah, I get Spam on that address (75% of all messages to that address ARE Spam... it's my most heavily spammed email address), but most of those are "Hi! Check out my webcam!" or "Please her, you sexy stud!" or something else along that line :( Oh, and lots and lots of folks who want to do Confidential Business with me from Africa. Sheesh, save the world by taking out an African dictator intent on using Bio weapons on Beijing and blaming it on America, thus starting a chain that leads to a global holocaust, and it seems everyone in Africa knows who you are... </joke, /James Bond theme song background> Bill Ward > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert P.
