Ya... we got rid of her already. I hope she didn't get too far through the member list.

Please let us know right away if you ever receive any scam or spam from TIJ's mail.

Only members can send members email and your email addresses are never revealed to anyone ever. You can also change your setting on your profile so that no one on the board can email you... we still have Private Messaging!

I trust we are all smart enough to know the Nigerian scam. Ignore them or send them a boat load of attachments.
