Two of my lists were hit in the first round, but things now appear quiet. Today, however, one of my students reports 2-3 pieces of email addressing him by name, using a familiar tone, from individual(s?) he does not know.

I bring it up here because of the concerns raised over the last few days, and the fact that information here has been somewhat more definitive than on other lists... -rms ========================= Bob Straubinger SUNY/Buffalo Pharmaceutics [log in to unmask]
