Ah, too little, too late, for Ms. Julep. But I did find out that it wasn't
necessarily posting online (I'm not on newsgroups) but I suspect that SURFING
under my "real" address is what has brought this deluge of spam. I will only
surf under an assumed address, from now on. I was looking for a new car 8
months ago -- it took this long to have the spam die out from hitting on
websites of car manufacturers. And they are "respectable" sites!
