Hey, I was wondering about that. I had figured it was some kind of
masked spam...but 2 things bug me about it....
A) Why did a spambot randomly grab MY name, and then send it out to
an entire group rather than myself, and more importantly
B) Where the hell did they get my name from, anyways??? No spambot
could have taken that from my Yahoo profile. My name in that thing
is listed as "Setzer Gabbiani", complete with phony address and
information, just for the purposes of avoiding spambots.
The only way a bot coulda grabbed my name was if it grabbed info
through my personal computer through a trojan....and even then,
EVERYTHING on my system is either registered to "Romus"
or "Darkmatter Studio".
Bottom line is, some shitbrick is messing around and spamming the
group under a mask. Gee, I WONDER who it could be.
> I recieved a shitload of 'Please confirm membership' and 'welcome
to' e-mails from lists and stuff I never joined, as well as all
this... and one of them apparently used the password 'hirtes'.
Well, the guy IS an idiot after all, Jace (and any other user that
has been on AFF before) can vouch for that one...him using his own
name in a mail actually sounds about right....
As to the whole waiting 4 months to retaliate...the guy REALLY
doesnt have a life beyond starting crap with folks (including
recently harassing Tamar on AFF about re-doing Albedo).
When nobody pays attention to him, he does his damndest to start
something up again. He's now on Furbid as his user "Furplay", urging
people to make pirated CDs of an artist whose reputation is in
question.
All I know is that it wasnt me spamming this place..
