I guess this seems like the right place to post, since its sort of about the
running and posting of lugnet.

I just got this email:

Obviously a hoax. It looks like a bot got my address from somewhere- any other
lugnetters get this one? I think it may have been from here because one
is "lego". I think a 'bot because one still has a spamblock in it.

Just curious. I sent Nicole a nice message about how there has yet to be one
of these that wasn't a hoax- if it wasn't Bill Gates would have sent me to
Disney World and Miller would have sent me a six pack of beer!

I got spammed too (not this one) at both my e-mails. I only really use my home e-email to post to LUGNet, so I thought it must have been from here. It was for a porn site. Scott A (...) (27 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
