I found a link to the old Gail's Swap Archives. It isn't 100 percent reliable, and I ...

probably not depending upon your computer config

Windows are always more vulnerable IMHO but here is some good info on this particular topic:

And if you want to find snapshots or even live/active archives of old sites I suggest archive.org as the single best source. Use the

"Wayback Machine"
I found this for the old Swap:

I could not get this link to load, so I went to their mirror site and found the other link.

I still can't get the wayback link to load. The site I posted came from a link on the wayback site.

I'm familiar with phishing. Maybe your filter alarm went off because it is a re-direct from the wayback site?

could be an exploited mirror

the ownership is in Egypt. With the recent political problems and the government censoring their internet in Egypt it could be related. I just read a few days ago how in Iran the government while publicly writing off the Internet as impotent, has put together a special intelligence force specifically to deal with the evil Internet and are running TV ads demonizing Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) as an agent of Israel trying to destroy Islam.

 
Nothing like a 5,000-year-old clan war to keep things interesting...

I was on skype with Islamic traders from Egypt last Spring. We were discussing (using the chat feature) a possible transaction. Then the three of them, who were in differing locations around Cairo, began writing in Arabic. They thought I couldn't understand them, but they weren't aware how fast one can cut-and-paste into Google Translate. It isn't 100% accurate, but I surprised them by asking them why they were discussing not working with me because I was Jewish! Boy were they surprised! They thought I understood arabic. I told them that I was a devout Christian, and not Jewish. You can imagine that didn't go over very well either.

It's my belief this WHOLE ENCHILADA is about to get wrapped up and put in the oven anyway, so we'll all just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the info.

Michael, I'm concerned that you are eatin the

dinner ware. That is just not a good thing and you need to stop. ;-

 
I didn't even notice the plate disappearing with the cheese cake! THAT'S WHY...

...my stomach's been actin' up lately.

You give good advice, Dr. Orchid.

No problem Michael, I like to help where I can. You might want to try

Earthenware. I was concerned about lead paint and Earthenware would taste way better! ;0) It's the silly season isn't it?
