	This may/may not mean anything. Some days ago I got a brief mail
	from  reminding me to "re-up".  I quit them months ago when they
	wanted to slam me for some absurb amount-- $153.00--to be my
	secondary.  

	I deleted their email; then in October my ~/Maildir got wiped.
	(I-done -it[?])  FWIW, I had an Amazona glitch around 16:00
	localtime yesterday.  Amazon couldn't verify my Visa card.  I
	retried hours later and the DDoS seems to have resolved itself.

	PS:  Time to bring back USENET:-)
