texte = I have been too. I'm guessing here that it's a spammer looking for open forms ("tell a friend") that they can then hijack and use to relay out their messages. Since there seem to be no shortage of these on the web now, when one gets abused and closes, the spammer moves on. Perhaps the best action would be If AOL (the x'ed out part of your message below) would take some sort of legal action, but since AOL isn't getting abused, I don't know how they would. Maybe you should just sign that email address up at a few other spamtastic websites... (*cough* http://www.nationalrewardcenter.com/ *cough*) Brian B.
