: Yep. I was thinking they'd gleaned email addresses from this BBS, but then it
: seems a few others here didn't get their 'newsletter'.

I got the execrable spam. I visited the Actionfish website following a link
from this BBS. I'm pretty sure I didn't give Actionfish my email address,
and I'm equally sure that my browser doesn't give it out. But his web
server could have found where my visit had been referred from and followed
that back to my BBS post. Perhaps he is finding people whom he believes
have an interest in his products by "intelligently" using his server logs.

Unfortunately, that looks like a good way to find all the people who have
any interest in the site and make them vow not to do business with him.
That is the path towards insolvency !
