(It did not come through the listserv - it was sent individually.) Here is what Mary and Larry have to say about it:</span><br></div><div style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" dir="ltr">"Hello all - This is really Mary and Larry Foster - the whale folks.

The listserv also received the message, but it has an automatic stop for any message that did not come from a member on the listserv (and since Mary's email was just a spoof, it blocked it)... whenever these kinds of messages are received by our OWQ listserv, they send me a message to review the email before they will send it on, so it's a good safeguard for us.</span></span><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size: 16px"><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;">Sharon Lau​</span></span><br></div></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
