Me, too! Did you hear about the guy that was charged with myspace spamming, something like 230 million dollars? I guess he is a spam pro. He was charged before, and this time, he did not show up to court, so they just billed him. They can charge up to like $300 a post i think.

I got one as well. That's the first time I've ever gotten a PM from a bot!

I loved that quote "Forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them more" I will forgive Jesse repeatedly.

I'm left wondering who gets all that money?

I got this same one last week. I just deleted the PM. Should have notifed moderator, but failed to do so. Considered the infraction/spam route, but as "Jessie" was listed as newbie, thought it might fall into the "enthuiastic, but unthinking" catagory who failed to follow proper protocall. It did seem odd that a newbie with zero posts would be PM'ing an individual member though.

I've had a couple newbies PM me. Only because they were computer challenged and figured out a way to contact us via PM easier than trying to find the right forum threads and not knowing to click on new thread. I have to admit, I had that same problem when I was new here. It's all good, so long as it isn't spam.

I had one of these, too. It was right after I had joined and I assumed, like you, it was a newbie and replied to it. No links appeared in the PM. I use a Unix operating system or a Mac for most of my correspondence with OB...well, hell, everybody. It kind of undermines the viral attempts, but not the spam. After I replied, I deleted it. Guess I should have reported it....

Any member can post a thread in the News, Updates & Feedback forum under Off-Topic way down the bottom of the Forum screen. You can also contact one of the OB's Moderators through PM or Email if there is anything amiss.
It would be highly appreciated
