Has anyone else received a strange PM recently (like today)? Just trying to decide if it was an oddity or spamming.

Alright, spam it is! Ann if you want one of us can forward the message to you so that you don't feel left out:D

ann, you and I must just be lucky; I didn't get one either. I gather it's something especially for men....

Actually, that was exactly my first thought. Someone who wanted to have a "private" conversation. :p

got one too - what's up with that? Didn't think it was spam.. well, suspected it but wasn't sure so I replied.

I got that one too, and it didn't seem like the sort of thing that the Jeanette I know from APUG would send me, so I just didn't answer it, figuring it was spam. I guess I was right.

I got one just now, and it indicates that "Jeanette" is on line.

By the way, Hi everyone.

I'm pretty sure if you really start looking at the logs, you'll discover a bot of some kind sitting here. Maybe I'm wrong and there is a real person sitting there, but unlikely. Normally if you PM someone to say hi, it's someone that you know. I can say that I really know very few people here or at APUG. So it is either a bot, or someone that decided to play around and is doing things the hard way.

Thanks guys. It was interesting spam, much easier on the brain than cell phones, porn and ed cures.

Yup, got it & just assumed it was spam. I certainly haven't been around long enough for anyone to be PM'ing me out of the blue...

Me too. The object seemed to get us to click on the personal web-site, which led to nothing about Jeannette but a lot of ominous busyness in the connection.
