LOL, well I wouldn't go so far as to say I was "Spammed". But I have received about 6 or 7 such PM's from total strangers.    But what do you say when someone sends you a message saying "will you be my friend?"   and when you casually ask how they know you, they reply that they saw your  name in the "who's online" list.  hehe

I do take the time to reply and that results in a few back and forth exchanges of PM's.  However, sometimes I'm not feeling social, or I'm in a hurry, or not feeling well.  And when I get a PM I feel obligated to respond, no matter who it's from. I haven't been harassed or hassled though. So that's a plus :)   I guess it's just someone who is lonely looking for someone to talk with  sometimes.

This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
