Hey Gang,

In the past few weeks the Events and Club submission mailboxes have been getting bombarded with junk.  We're not sure of the cause but suspect some 'web-crawler' type programs out there in cyber-space merrily spinning out stuff to any open spot on the internet. 

In an effort to reduce the volume of junk coming in you will find a new text box at the bottom of the Club Submission Fork and the Event Submission Form that MUST be filled in order for the information to be submitted.  What to type into the box is explained on both forms (it's easy - trust me!).

Let us know if you have any questions or problems with the change.

Thanks!

I've been gettin hammered the last two weeks or so with "spam". Usually has addresses that look like..."zvxetwkqw.com". This has just been happening for the last two, maybe three weeks. I learned the hard way to just instantly delete without opening. Bird-flu on the net...some people have even less of a life than me...
Thanx for the info, Jim.
