Thanks for the warning, Leon. I am fairly sure that each subscriber of 
the list
is aware of phishing scams, especially ones involving eBay/PayPal. They often
sit alongside E-mails with large malicious attachments and E-mails 
about Viagra
spelled with 1's and 4's. Either way, I don't think scam warnings are truly
necessary.
