Hello, all. I'm delurking to ask if anyone else has received this
strange e-mail that I got today. I figure the only way this person could
have gotten my name & address was from this list.

To Anne stuecker,
My name is Kim Michael Ventris & I am
a TV
producer with a national syndicated show based in Boston,
Massachusetts.This
show airs weekly & reaches some 86% of all households in the United
States.
It is carried by CBS & NBC, plus some
150 additional independent & affiliated stations around the country.
This show, titled, "The Wild Wild
Web!" is
specifically about the internet & what it has to offer for people of all
ages
& experiences.Whether they're long-time surfers or getting their feet wet
for
the first time,we'll introduce to them on this show a huge variety of
websites
to visit.
It will be divided into segments with
each
segment dealing with a specific topic.One of these segments features
science
fiction writers & their work.
In creating this story I am trying to
get
as much information on Octavia Butler.If you feel you can be of any help,
please contact me by E-mail or by phone.
Yours sincerely
Kim Michael Ventris. 111 Townclose@aol.com - 617 558-6380 ext 303

Laura, is this a consequence of list membership being made public? Or
did this person simply read the webpage where all our comments are
listed?
His story sounds fishy to me.
