I just got a mass mailing for "COMUNIX" in Europe with an obvious address
obtained by direct extraction from the map listings.  Although they
copied my little joke about "beautiful Henrietta" they got the zip code
wrong.  This leads me to believe that the address were not processed
electronically but by hand and by someone who has never been to
Henrietta.

Although novel computer/Unix related junk mail is welcome I would
definitely not want my name put on mailing lists simple because I am a
news administrator.
