probably not; yes, you probably are (smile).

two observations: (1) there are many well-meaning newcomers out there:
if apprehended & detained for questioning, EP would probably explain:
"i didn't know i was doing anything wrong. someone told me i could use
this piece of software to publicise my lovely new Titanic site.
i'm eversosorry. i'll know better next time".
consequently calling out the lynch-mob may be a trifle over-reacting:
best if he simply gets several polite notes from real people
pointing out that what he's doing is very anti-social in the e-World.
(2) i AM suspicious now that we've had 3 (i think) of these things
within c 24 hr (i think).
somehow lynx-dev seems to have got on someone's junk-mail list,
so if there's more, we DO need to find out where these innocent
(or otherwise) dudes are getting lynx-dev's e-address from.
simplest way is to ask them.
