I just got a message from Morpheusseti@netscape.net inviting me to join their team - (Message below.)

I sent back a polite reply, but I'd like to know if he's spamming LOTS of people and if so, I suggest we let the Berkeley folks know about it. ;)

Not recently, but I have been spammed by another one of the team members before. I had a nice reply to them.

Well would you rather get SPAM for joining a SETI team, or SPAM for Viagra (and the like)? :)

have never had anyone else ask me to join anything other that Team AT. even then it was folks trying to switch me from seti to DF or something like that.

There's a remedy for that ;)
Whenever people see an email address in the open it seems to be fair game for whatever their trying to sell.
