 I sent like 10 messages to the discuss and got one of these. I
 didn't cc anyone or anything else. I am subscribed to the list,
 and my post made it through.

 Can a moderator (or anyone really) comment on this? It appears
 that it might be a phishing scam.

I routinely ignore requests to go to someone's email box so that I 
have the privilege of corresponding with them.  If they want to 
receive email from me, they will do the work of adding me to their 
list of real emailers BEFORE they send it out.  Asking someone else 
to do your data entry for you as a condition of correspondence is, 
IMHO, rude.  


 Thanks.

I agree. I am curious where this came from. The message I sent, was only 
sent to the list, there was no cc or anything like that. So, I don't 
know who Steve Ward is or how this would have come to me.

Odd.
Thanks,
