I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.

I just received an invitation from Ziff Davis to subscribe to their magazine
Baseline.  What's weird is Ziff thinks my name is "Craig Densberger".  I
haven't a clue who Craig is, but I get a lot of very sleazy spam of the
worse kind that is also sent to Craig Densberger.  Did Ziff hire a spam
company to shill Baseline?  Say it ain't so!
