   Relax, dude... Somebody has the same name as you. FIDO is a
   public message base, and there are no private messages.
   Check out the quote below, from a David O. Williams.
   This happens from time to time. Just skip the messages if
   you have no interest in the subject.

   We can see from the origin lines that you are not even in
   the same COUNTRY as the person addressed, but the WAN does
   not make such fine distinctions, and your local BBS only
   sees the name and matches it to its own database.
   Networks are funny that way, but so few people laugh when
   they start getting 'funny' mail from strangers. :)
   The programmer knows that
DavidWilliams.FontyTowers
   and
DavidWilliams.CapCanada
   are separate variables occupying contiguous space.
