Dead links and SPAM

[Ray T. Bentley]

I have received several in the past few days from yahoo addresses.  I have
forwarded them to postmaster@yahoo.com.  I have received replies that they
will be investigated.  Of course the chances are slim with so many.  Perhaps
if enough are forward to them, they will do a better job of filtering them
out!
