Re: [Phys-l] WHAT ARE "EXCESSIVE BOUNCES" ?

[chuck britton <cvbritton@embarqmail.com>]

Not a correction - but suggesting a possibility.

Someone else reports that the 're-apply' url was fake.
Could be that some one got ahold of some Phys-L addresses and was  
perpetrating a hoax of some sort.

If you were indeed NOT getting the usual plethora of Phys-L posts -  
then your server was probably having a bad day.
If you WERE still getting the posts - then it could have been a hoax  
of some sort.

If that really IS your Phys-L password - then you will want to change  
it.
It's not a very secure security system that even HAS the ability to  
send the password in plaintext.
