Be assured that the person posting the... ahemm... ferret "recipes", does not appear to be subscribed to the Ferret Mailing list. I guess that's one of the risks being on "autopilot". By the way, there was a similar thread about a year back on rec.cooking on USENET - I didn't read enough of it to know if anyone was actually SERIOUS about it nor do I remember if yesterday's indruder was the same person who posted the stuff on USENET (though the message appears to have been forged anyhow, so maybe our intruder IS subscribed...I'm SO confused :-)). If it means anything, the recipes on USENET were much more sophisticated anyway. Sigh... Bill Gruber City University of New York Computer Center [Posted in FML issue 0315]
