Dear readers,
   Please accept my apology that I've not been able to get a digest out
in the last couple of days.  Please keep sending articles.  I will get
them out soon.

   I have a particularly difficult work schedule this week, aggrivated
by the need to do some investigative work about Playtime Music.

   With regards to Playtime Music, I've received a report from one of
our readers of a phone conversation he had with Robert Malek that is
(unfortunately) consistant with some of the e-mail messages which I
previously attributed to a "hacker".  Its technologically possible that
someone has hacked his Internet account _AND_ his phone line.  Or
perhaps he has a particularly malicious employee or housesitter and is
out of town.  It doesn't seem likely.

   Consequently, based on the numerous reports I've received, I've
reluctantly come to the conclusion that I must say something stronger
than my last message:

      I _STRONGLY_ suggest avoiding Playtime Music at this time.
      
   I'm still interested in receiving (to rollreq@foxtail.com)
additional reports of any contact with Playtime or Robert Malek,
whether positive or negative.

Thanks

Jody
