Speaking as one who is fighting spyware on my computer, I vote WITH
the guy who's suspicious of a strange url that shows up in a newsgroup.
Use of strange urls is hardly confined to spammers.

Well, maybe we can learn something here.

What do you see that's "strange" about the URL above ?

Looks like a subdomain of http://www.fcc.gov to me.....

You are absolutely correct, but that wasn't the "strange URL" I meant. The
post
that started this thread is as follows (from June 12):

quote
The information about filing a FCC BPL comment on the ARRL web page was
outdated. There is a new case number that should be used. 04-37 is the
correct case number.

It only takes 5 minutes to file a comment with the FCC against BPL.

Somebody else questioned it first, wondering why the FCC URL wasn't just
posted;
then somebody brought up paranoia. I seconded the paranoia and I stand by
it, at
least in principle.

vambo.org, searched on google, gave me no obvious ham radio links but a
little digging
identifies a Colorado ham associated with the site. (By "digging", I mean
google &
qrz.com; no hacker weapons here -- I'd probably shoot my eye out :-)
