Thanks Stan,

Both the bogus list and bogus address are different every time.  It's 
slowed down now with only a few hundred this morning.

With several thousand in a time I'd normally have a few dozen, I was 
interested not only in getting rid of them, but seeing what the rest of 
the world was seeing.  Guess I was a chosen one ;-)  Not hearing from 
others appears to be good news!

Thanks again, wayne
