And, I don't think anyone is disputing that, Gill. No email address should be susceptible to harvesting. And, at no time, did I freak out. So, read whatever you want into my posts. All I said is that I have 3 email addresses, all of which have NEVER had anything to do with rendo, receive that email. Disputing the assumption that it was, in any way, rendo's fault.
So, yeah, Gill, I understand. Spam is annoying. It's like a zit on your ass. Sitting in here, complaining that it's potentially rendo's fault not only does nothing to solve the problem, it has nothing to do with the problem. You can either overreact to spam, or you can delete it and ignore it. But, saying that the rest of us are putting you down, overreacting, or 'net newbys because we don't freak out at spam...it's silly. We understand that you're frustrated. But the orignal post wasn't "Don't you understand that I'm frustrated???" It was "ok, I got spammed, and somehow, Rendo's involved!!!" So, for those of us who look at spam realistically, and not as a personal affront to our nethood...yeah, we roll our eyes, and post to the contrary.
The email we all got, it was a new version of the Nigerian Scam email. Congratulations, it was probably a newish one. Is it rendo's fault? Nope. So one is trying to negate the fact that you're frustrated. Go ahead, be frustrated. It's your right as a human being. I choose not to be frustrated over spam.
