It looks like some of you received some delicious spam in your email. I also received this. The spammer created an account here and used that to send the messages. The spammer does not know your email address. They didn't break into the site and get our database. Your email address isn't publicly displayed anywhere.

I have a routine that prevents "new" accounts from sending email like this. I installed that code in February 2007 in response to a situation just like this. I know what this person did to circumvent that and I'll be updating my filter accordingly.
