Hi Paul,
         Thanks for the explanation - this old brain stops short of all 
that technical stuff - remembering which direction to crank an engine is 
hard enough :-)

         My point was that they managed to get addresses I never even knew 
existed and they must have come from my mail provider. Wether they did it 
by "hacking" or other means, they still did it and they did it without 
permission!

         I agree about them being pond scum  -  or lower as other replies 
have suggested.
