both Millenium and i have been receiving batches of emails from these guys. millenium initially thought it might have been someone pissed at him, now we are thinking it might be that someone hacked AT's database.

check in and if you've also recieved these emails post here please.

I don't.

When did it start?
Edit: Ah, I see what you mean now. My email isn't visible.

yes, they can, but if they are sending them to thousands of us, then i would suspect that they hacked the database instead of browsing and copying and pasting.

it's pretty easy to write a program to automatically go through the profiles looking for e-mail addresses, without hacking.

fine, would still like to know that if someone is doing it, wouldn't you??

or would you rather remain blissful?

if it is a personal vendetta against millenium and I, fine, at least we will know that.

I don't think they hacked anything. They are simply looking in profiles. Pretty easy to write a script to pull names...
