Just a note that there's someone sending out abusive emails posing as NPN members. So if you receive anything that's not through this system or a previous contact be aware of this.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Some people seem to have way too much time on their hands!! Thanks for the notice Kah Kit.

Thanks for the heads up.

Are these e-mails coming from who appears to be a a single NPN member, or from mulitple people. If the latter, Jim may need to look to see if the NPN database got hacked.

I haven't received any such e-mails--so far.

Sometimes a sick individual mopes around the fringes. I feel sorry for them, but that doesn't change the fact they need to move on. Thanks for the heads up.

I have received emails from two addresses. Another NPN member has also received some.

Pass the info along to Jim. A little "ISP mining" might be fruitful.

We have had a couple morons who were (WERE) NPN members briefly and they have many of our personal email addresses.
Hopefully they have found other things to do by now.

I don't think NPN has been hacked as they used my website email rather than the personal one that is linked here.

This has also happened to me where a"wack-a-loon"used my website email to send abusive / berating notes. They made reference to NPN so I do believe it is someone lurking in the shadows here.
