[Durham INC] I added you as a friend on Quepasa.com

[M. W. Shiflett - Hotmail]

I apologize to the group and each individual who got this posting.

However,  the one thing I did learn from this was that it's important to 
change your email password periodically and use a 'scheme' that folks like 
this can access.

Mike

ps-Hotmail grades passwords (like many other sites) and my previous password 
was "weak".   I've corrected this to a "STRONG" new one.
