First off, please let me apologize for this un-intentional "spam." (I'll spare you guys the irrelevant argument about whether one letter constitutes "spam." The bottom line is it shouldn't have happened, it's not your fault or responsibility, and you shouldn't have to wade through _my_ shit over piddling crap like definitions.) The letter in question was specifically addressed to an address at msn.com, and I honestly have no idea how it ended up being routed to dm.com, much less a specific individual's mailbox. Unless Jim RoadRunner mis-addressed a reply back to dm.net. But even there, I'm at a loss to know how it ended up in Dr. Dimitri's mailbox. In any case, it shouldn't have landed there at all. Btw., thanks Toto for passing this back to me. It does give us a chance to change the access password. And to try to figure out what screwed up where to make sure it doesn't happen again. Toto wrote:

Who the fuck is "dueling modems"? Why am I getting this shit at my site? This is dm.com, not dm.net. What a bunch of fucking morons.

Dimitri - To you I specifically apologize for the inadvertant arrival of this email in your box. It was completely un-intentional and, as you point out, uncalled-for. Dueling Modems (dm.net) is most definitely NOT D&M Consulting (dm.com), or any sub-domain housed under their umbrella. We're a small online service that Jim has recently joined, and apparently a confirmation letter or reply was mistakenly routed to you.
Dimitri, It's simple enough. The man is generous and wants others to be able to use his account, free of charge. He also wants us to pretend that we are him, asking his ISP to 'confirm' the credit card number he gave them, to make sure it's the right one.
Well, not exactly... <g>
When you find out more about the "Electronic Funds Transfer information" they mention, could you forward it to the list so that this fellow's generosity will not go unappreciated?
Actually, any EFT information you might pick up would only serve you in depositing money _into_ Jim's account.

Nice story on the web page, btw. Again, apologies to all and thanks for being gentle about letting us know about the screw-up. nic
