I didn't get it either so I don't think someone got your address from PTG. The fact that you have "piano" in your email address could make you a target for this one. dp David M.

I rarely respond to posts on this forum for professionall reasons, but it's quite obvious the subscribers to this forum were targeted. The operative question, therefore, is how did they get this list. This is not a criticism of the PTG because I believe the PTG forum is managed to the best possible within their resources. But, the question remains and I hope will be resolved. The immediate answer by some willl be, it's not that difficult if you follow the forum. For the benefit of those concerned, however, I was targeted and have not contributed to this forum for several years so the ability of this source to find my e-mail address deserves some investigation.
