Could be ....  I owe then no debt.

Nevertheless, my academic email address as well 
as a couple of my own used on this list at one 
time or another have been harvested and spammed 
with announcements and the same goddamned tagged.com bull$hit.

If that is repayment for the kindness I offered 
by posting their initial bounced announcement to 
this group (despite its very tenuous connection 
to us), then may they all burn in Hell.

They'll escape the fires of eternal damnation 
before they are plucked from my spam filters.

YMMV
