It sucks to be you! > To: (edited out) > CC: awinkelried, bibliophage, Coldfire, frogstein, lynnbodoni The cc: line actually had a lot more addresses, but I deleted the names I didn’t recognize; also I’ve changed the email addresses (which looked legit, BTW) to just the SDMB ID. If an administrator is interested I can try to email the entire email to you, but I didn’t want to post everything on the board. Sorry if the formatting’s messed up; I get my mail through Yahoo (I also have a bunch of mail forwarders set up, so the mail goes through about 3 hops until it actually gets to my mailbox. This is how I trace spam, BTW). There was no actual message text, just the headers. Any idea what’s going on? [Edited by TubaDiva on 08-17-2001 at 10:48 PM] ---

I think [banned](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=81476) is the only thread which contains posts by all of the people to whom the e-mail was sent. Hey, you asshole e-mailer! I flamed you in that post. What happened? Your “CC” line wasn’t long enough to mail us all? :wally ---

I just noticed that the TO: line is to a valid address; mods, can you edit the OP? Also, note that the from: line purports to be from an SDMB user, but the address is wrong. ---

If any of you get these weird emails (or anything else of a troublesome or harassing sort of thing that you believe originates from the SDMB membership)please forward to me complete with all the header information if possible.

Just to make it clear, I am [waterj2@yahoo.com](mailto:waterj2@yahoo.com) or waterj2@alum.rpi.edu, and have no affiliation with any sort of bastardazation thereof. It was my email address in the to field, and I really don’t mind it being shown on the boards. I’m guessing that I don’t need to forward my copy now, as it’s probably already been forwarded (actually, since Lynn Bodoni got a copy of the original, I’m sure the administration has a copy). ---

Yep, that bad. But you’re right. I actually prefer the earlier version by some way. BTW, those of a wrinkled persuasion might be interested to know of this years [Reunion Tour](http://www.manzanera.com/RoxyArchive/RoxyMusicTour2001/mediareports.htm), albeit without the very great talent of Brian Eno. Anyway, kudos to The Diva for using that phrase rather than the current board fetish for Illumin bollocks ati, or whatever the bloody word is.
