On http://www.spamresource.com there is the story of Nadine, an account of what happened after an Internet user accidentally gave a wrong email address when she visited a web page and signed up for a sweepstakes. Live in fear...."

    Dragging this offtopic, a good friend of mine was told to invest in Cisco Systems a few years ago. But he just heard the name and, being a non-techie, bought a bunch of shares in Sysco, the food services company.

    Cisco went down, Sysco went up. Talk about pulling a Homer....
