Or.. Rev... (archive)

How about that guy who registered www.revhigh.com? He made that web site go directly to Dinan. Maybe he is also registering your email address all over the Internet as well. It's obvious the guy doesn't like you. I, of course, find that hard to believe. I think you're a sweetheart. Hahahah.

...online information storage, but I am paranoid about spam just from the point of view of it being an annoyance. That's why I go to the trouble of using a completely different email address with each and every online site from which I buy...and I buy things online often. I do it just so I know who to send upset emails to when I start receiving spam. I've had even big names like Intel "share" my email address with spammers--not cool.

I feel really strongly that such tactics are very wrong, which is one of the reasons this site won't ever do something like that.

For what it's worth, I don't trust Paypal and certainly not MSN/Hotmail. :)

I don't doubt that your email address could be harvested from postings here. What probably happened is just what you said--one of the spam robots that spiders the web looking for email addresses picked yours up, and once that happened, it got onto spam lists all over the place. I think that it doesn't happen too commonly with this site though, otherwise I should be receiving a ton of spam as a result of my postings here too.
