OT: Spammed

Did anyone else get spammed today ?

I had a lovely message from returns@trafficmangnet.net (please to be spamming yourselves, good sirs) suggesting I could pay money to get more people to come and visit this fine site.

Now while I have been around the monastery longer than most, I certainly have nothing to do with everydevel or the running of the site, so can only assume that they've been spidering, and was just wondering what extent this ran to?

setantae, actually curious for once.

    Well they certainly got the info through spidering. zdog told me last night he got something similar.

    Well, that's what happens when you put your email address at the end of every post! :) Consider obfuscating your email a bit if you must post it.

      Yeah, I suppose :)
      I'm not really worried about receiving spam though (it only bothers me when it's all over the mail server), I was more interested in seeing how many people they'd got to.
      It had a really nice screen shot at the bottom, too. Like I said, just curious really.

      However, in this instance ...
