So how did you get a spam message appearing to be from someone @arfunk.com?

Unethical businesses send out messages with forged return addresses that appear to have been sent by innocent third parties. It's unfortunately fairly easy to do this � see this Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report. Both the message recipient and the domain that has been forged are victimized � in this case you and me.

I am taking action to stop this abuse of my domain name and, especially, your in-box. 

There is something you can do to, too, to help fight online spam: forward a complete copy of any unsolicited commercial email you receive to [email protected]. See the FTC report, "You�ve Got Spam: How to "Can" Unwanted Email," for more information.

Thank you for your understanding any my sympathies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

(That concludes this special report. We now return to our regular website, already in progress...)                              

People have been seriously injured and killed when their live truck mast came in contact with energized power lines. Lightning is also a significant danger.

My 1997 Radio World article, On Remotes, Look Up and Live, is essentially a compilation of information I learned from Mark Bell, the risk management department of Georgia Power, the National Lightning Safety Institute, and other sources.  

Be sure to visit Mark Bell's ENGSafety.com site.

And the best ENG Safety videotape I've seen is "Safety Is Good News" from the Salt River Project, an Arizona power utility. To promote safety they are distributing it at no charge to the broadcast industry. Send email to request your own copy.
