Dead links and SPAM

[Greg Newell]

Rob,
    I have heard that it is not a dead link at all but rather somthing
that records your e-mail address as active and puts you on a list to
sell to their clients. Best to just delete and move on. The ones I hate
are the "We are 18" ones and the "breast / penis enlargement". I really
must get around to setting up those filters!
