The difference was, this is the only list I subscribe to with this address
that has anything to do with web site hosting and that's who that email was
targeted to. I don't have ICQ, so I'm not listed there or at www.four11.com
or www.bigfoot.com (hint: search for your email address there). Maybe they
didn't Spam the entire list. I'd be curious, if I had access to the
subscriber list, if anyone from tblc.com was signed up for this list in
order to harvest addresses. Since they're hosted by US West and even sent
the Spam via US West I don't expect any action as US West is a Spam haven.
