OOOPS
A virus hit the right combination of mailing address and return 
address so that everyone on the Pacific Masters Update list got a 
piece of spam I apologize that this happened and I have taken steps 
to insure that it does not happen again.

The update gets over 150 pieces of spam a week that has to be 
manually culled from the list. The unsubscribed has to be separated 
from whatever is sent to general address.

The Update has never contained any attachments, nor is there a 
pacificmaster's team that needs you to open a file.
