[wp-testers] RE: Scour.com invite from Chuck Adkins

There's been two other such identical "Scour" spams from two different 
authors to my knowledge, there may be more. Several from a "Chuck 
Adkins" and another few from a "Barbara Vaz". "Scour" (a new type of 
user driven search engine) seems to be is a legitimate enterprise 
though. This /may/ be just two "misbehaving" members. I contacted Scour 
about about this through their "Feedback" email address (one of many) 
without giving any specific wp-tester list details. So far, no reply. 
May take a couple of days.
