Hi all - I just got an e-mail from someone calling himself 168 . (e-mail address shakerh4@yahoo.com) saying he'd wanted to quote something from my user page on a new page called wikipedia: Who, Why? I wrote back pointing out that I was still around - anyway, it seemed like a letter meant to make me think he was "on my side" If someone e-mails someone else through the pedia, is there any virus protection thing? I could find no such page, and now wonder if it wasn't a ploy to get me to reveal my address .and it's not the one on th emailing list! (I know, dumb of me). Any suggestions, or am I being paranoid about this being not entirely kosher?

My understanding is that 168... is an upstanding user. And I've seen the Who, Why? page. Looks legit to me. Anyone else?
