Had my twice-yearly trip to the dentist this morning. Bust day in their office with one or more hygenists out, so I got the whole cleaning done by one of the partners! Quick and easy, with no high-pressure water-chisel and very little gumline excavation. No pain during or afterwards. This flossing regularly lark seems to actually do some good!

I've noticed that several emails that have shown up in my sp@m nets are "headlined" as being from people I know.

In other words, the "name" linked with the sending address is a friend or relative, even though the underlying address is obviously not theirs.

So, it's not that the sp@mmer has hijacked their account so much as they've identified that someone with that name writes, or at least has written, to my address and so the sp@mmer is using that name as a cover to get me to read their emails.

Where would they get that information? From my friend's emails? From my email? Has something been compromised that needs to be fixed?

My brain is just too foggy to figure this one out just now.
