Theos-Talk Archives (March 2003 Message tt00022)

A bit of synchronicity for you:

I received this email from Leon which mentions a Peter
Fenwick. The email in my inbox after Leon's is from my
friend, Peter Fenwick. And this morning I received a
spam email from, you guessed it, a Peter Fenwick (this
one was actually spelt Pete Fenwick - I thought it was
my friend at first but it wasn't).
