Ready ? hehe, most of the time <> JP> My DNS is: 24.200.243.234 i assume that yuo mean that this is your inet address? generally DNS is the machine that you inquire of to convert domain names to ip numbers...

I guess that this was a "come-along" JP> to get me to advertise my real addy. it is one of those scare tactics, yes... JP> I did not bite the bait. But what they showed JP> was miles off what the address is. Can you verify JP> this for me ? other than acknowledging that it is a scare tactic like we see in many tv advertisements, i can only surmise that replying or attempting to unsubscribe would have added you to the "live ones" list of email addresses...
