In Response To: Re: Off Topic: SPAM (John Fereira)

: On the other hand, people on the Paddlewise list are also complaining about
: the WetDawg spam and some are wondering if it's related to being on that
: list.

I brought up WetDawg on P'wise, but the SPAM went to a different email address than I use for Paddlewise--Wes Boyd said the same thing. It was more of a "wondering out loud post" on Paddlewise, since I'd like to try to figure out how they got my email. I think Kirk nipped it in the bud.

It seems to be a very specific SPAMming--directed at paddlers, rather than anybody in general (I just delete those)--but I'd like to find out how they got our email addresses, so I could possibly prevent it. Like I said in a post to Nick--it looks like a worthwhile website, but they're really going to hurt themselves if they resort to spamming to drum up traffic.

By the way, haven't seen you much in "these here parts"--welcome!
