So, I get e-mail spam. Everybody does it's a fact of life. Maybe you have a really good spam filter and don't notice it, but the spam is there.

Every now and then I click on a spam message, more to see where it's really coming from then anything else. I clicked on one in my excite mailbox for a free laptop and scrolled around until I found the information about where it was coming from. At the bottom of the page is the line:

" You received this message because you are subscribed to a Lycos Newsletter. "

Ok, so I don't remember ever signing up for anything owned by Lycos.

Time to check it out, I clicked on the link and used my typical user name and password. After perusing the membership information i find that my e-mail address is set to: hagerty@scnc.fvl.k12.mi.us

For those of you that don't know, that was my high school e-mail address. Evidently I made an account with Lycos 10 years ago, and forgot all about it. Or, more to the point, they own Angelfire, which is probably where my account came from.
