Yep, I realised that. I was just annoyed at them for sending it to me. At least they didn't say that they were based in Nigeria...

Will the people who have their email addresses in the forums get it too, I wonder?

you cant actually see ppls e-mail addresses w/o being logged in. as an admin at that, unless they put it in their sig.

And there was me thinking that the Email button on each post opened up an Outlook/other mailing program window. Ah well...

Nah, it just means you aren't lucky enough not to receieve one. >:p On a side note, I've never gotten one of those either, thankfully.

Verily. Those people just search out a site and randomly send the e-mails to the listed people on the main site.
