It seems a scam is in the works. I received an e-mail from eBay@sexycity.com this morning urging me to re-submit all my account info. The explanation is that I made a mistake, inadvertently used the back button or something, and all my info was lost. I must re-enter my password info etc. into a form at their slightly changed new address or I will not be able to use my account and other eBay priveleges any more.
If you get a notice like this, eBay advises:
It's not true.
Just ignore it.
Whatever you do, DON'T FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS in the e-mail.

Slightly changed new address? Anyone who falls for this one needs to have their eyes and brains examined ...

I,too, received a scam email from, supposedly, "eBay" but the email address was different from the one shown by Ron B. It was eBay@www01.isb.net. There was a request for credit card number, driver's license number and other information ebay never requests in an email. This was reported to eBay through "spam@ebay.com" and they have responded that it is not from eBay and they have taken down the site which originated the email.....so watch out, there may be similar emails, but with differing eBay addresses.

--Apparently the hackers are not musicians. If they just used "Selmercity" instead, they would have suckered 50 percent of the sax community and the dummies would be in South America by now counting their doe. <;-D

It wasn't a spelling error, actually.

--My Webster's II pocket "New Riverside" Edition documents the following (the spelling error was entirely mine):
Doe: does or doe. (Noun) 1. A mature female deer. 2. A female of various mammals, as the hare or kangaroo.
Dough: (noun) 1. A thick, soft mixture of flour or meal, liquids, and other ingredients that is baked. Esp. to make bread or pastry. 2. A dough like pasty mass. 3. Slang. Money.

JMcAulay...Unfortunately, my computer keyboard is a standard Boehm system and only has a RH delete key.
I've got to get one of those "full Boehm system computer keyboards with an alternate LH delete key"
Anyone know if Buffet makes one?...GBK

I have the Buffet extended-range bass keyboard that not only has the auxilliary left-hand delete key, but has three additional letters, two of which require the right thumb to type. And, although no one asked, I use a neckstrap to help keep the keyboard at a comfortable typing angle.

Ach, klar
Vic's got that rhythm in his soul,
Just can't help but let it flow...
I s'pose the sharks will always be 'out there', Don, circling and circulating but, what really impressed me initially was... this was such a DUMB SHARK :|

ron b --
Nevertheless, I'll bet the shark attracted at least a couple of sucker fish.
