 I was wondering if you could help me. I've been "email bombed"; that is to 
 say that I have been subscribed to this list (and several hundred others) 
 without my permission.
 
 Could you please email me with the instructions for unsubscribing to this 
 list? I would greatly appreciate it.
 
 Please email to bbaker@bmsinc.com.
 
 Thanks for all of your help

 Is this another name for Sprekelia?  Seems to me I have seen that in
 print in some catalog.  Sprekelia do wonderfully here and multiply
 like mad.  Easy to care for (if you remember to dig them before they
 freeze!), and I just let them dry out in the basement, put them in a
 corner, and next spring plant again.

I have no idea why I have this posting and I don't know what mail-bombing is.
 I have no idea why it was written to me unless I was picked randomly from
the most current list of messages, I wrote two today.

If anyone can explain this to me, please do.
