Dear folks,

This morning I found a message inviting "SCA friends" to purchase items
from Aramathea, Ltd. My e-mail address has been lifted before by spammers 
before, but it has never been connected with membership in a target group.
I am concerned that one of these lists (I am on a few others, though) 
might have been raided and its members' e-mails lifted for targeting as
SCA folks by spammers. Has anyone else received e-mail from Aramathea Ltd?
Can the list moderators look into this please?

Details on the Aramthea message:

received from pimount2-ext.prodigy.net
and from dongolaptop via adsl-66-142-43-110.dsl.kscymo.swbell.net
from "Aramantha, Ltd" at inquire at aramantha.com

A Google search shows Aramantha, Ltd. is a business in Bournemouth,
Dorset, UK, with no website, but with a contact at Usiba Safari:
Edwin Hayes,
Arimathea LTD,
45 Livingstone Road,
Bournemouth, Dorset, BH5 2AS
plus cell & tel numbers and email armiathea at bigfoot.com

"Boojum: Term used to describe the total annihilation of a 
word/line/character/subplot/book/series. Complete and irreversible, the
nature of a boojum is still the subject of some heated speculation. Some 
past members of Jurisfiction theorise that a Boojum might be a gateway to
an 'anti-library' somewhere beyond the 'imagination horizon'. It is
possible that the semi-mythical Snark may hold the key to decipher what
is, at present, a mystery."
