Is your name Paul Smith? Or Mike Haight? Or Richard Heightchew? Why
the constant name changing and pretending to be a new person each
time?

Gee, we’ve been down this same name-changing road before. I forget what the explanation was last time, but these names are very familiar to me.

And now he's started again with the "This list has been hacked". If
anyone gets a message from him telling you the list has been hacked,
ignore it.

Let's get back to on-topic messages. Paul Smith will no longer have to
worry about their email being harvested from this list - or whatever
claim he is making. Isn't it odd his is the only one? I think his PC may
be hacked. Therefore the list will not be subject to that breach.
