I got one too this morning.
   Either most of the recipients are just ignoring it or those posting here are somehow special.
   Groucho Marx had something to say about that.

Is that what Groucho said? Not one of his better lines!
   I too received this once-in-a-lifetime offer this morning...
   And yes I are special, we tell myself that daily.

   And I thought we had a secure web site   ..[V][:(!][:(]
   I along with a few others also received this email,  Can you please bring up the subject of security of Club members data at this months Committee meeting.  None of us need this sort of intrusion.
   
   Thanking you in anticipation.
   
   Cheers  ..  [:)]

Now, what did Groucho say, really? Any Five-O or Six-O club members know?

I know.  But then I brought it up, didn't I?

REV

All things in perspective. Its never been a major issue (and still isn't really). All that's happened is that his email has been recieved. He won't have anyones actual email address. No real harm done and it livened up a dull day.
   
   I would think that not allowing newly joined members access to the Members area for a 30 day period would be all that is needed. When these people can't contact anyone immediately they will quickly move on and forget about it. But if a new member wished to post they could.
   
   Nothing will ever be completely secure. I believe that hundreds of hackers attack the Pentagons computer each and every day, and some actually get so far in! Now thats scarey!!!
   
   Generous George has obviously taken on board, but not fully grasped another of Groucho Marx's quotes:
   
   The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.. if you can fake that, you've got it made.
   
   I think he'll need a lot more practice before he becomes much of a threat!

I meant to add that I've obtained $3.000,000  Madoff bucks in the form of non-bearer bondage...are you telling me that the $500,000 I paid is lost?

REV

Are Madoff Bucks like Disney dollars... except worth less?

jbottini

I believe you are correct....they state on the face  "In Bernie We Don't Trust Anymore" or something like "delsie" soft paper

TLegate

I also own $3,000,000 ex-Madoff bearer bonds! Anyone want to make a straight swap for their immaculate MkIV Lightweight? You know it makes sense.....

jbottini

Oh no Trevor...he issued me 43,000,000 in "non-bearer bondage"  same thing or no?!

TLegate

Not sure you can say 'bondage' here......
