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?

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

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