Everyone:
If anyone has gotten an e-mail about or allegedly from me claiming that I was stranded somewhere in the UK without funds to return home, DISREGARD IT!
Sometime between late Sunday night November 6 and the wee hours of Monday morning (the 7th), my primary e-address was hacked. The thief (thieves?) not only stole my address book, but also had all my e-mail rerouted to another account that I don't have access to.
If you have tried to contact me since Sunday evening, my apologies for not returning your mail.
If I "did", see above.
Have since created a new e-mail account elsewhere and updated all my contact information with everyone who had the old account address.
If somehow I missed getting in touch with you, my apologies. It was an oversight upon my frazzled nerves and tired typing fingers.
Not going to get any real writing done today, but there's always tomorrow.
Take care.
The REAL Lee.

Thankfully I never do any banking or other financial transactions online. The worst that could happen to me financially from all this is the hacker(s) know who my bank is. Trying to take advantage of that is another matter, but I have already changed my contact information with my bank, which makes that task much more difficult now.
