Today I received an e-mail that at least was targeted to my field. It came from the generic-sounding e-mail address fallnominations2010@post.com. Here\u2019s the text of the e-mail:<\/p>\n

Surely being addressed in a generic fashion such as \u201cFaculty\/Staff\u201d is a good indication that this is a mass-mailing effort and that you have not been singled out for inclusion? And there is a lot of information<\/a> about Biltmore<\/a> online, with whom they claim to be associated.<\/p>\n
