I'm sure probably everyone got one... everyone is reporting it to the Mayor... and the Mayor's Friday just went down the toilet :(

Got one here also.

I shouldn't have opened it...the title kinda gave it away.

Thanks, csonni!

lollergirl told me I was the only one.
:mad:
But now that I know she's a loose woman (with even looser morals!) fooling around behind my back, I'm going to break-up with her immediately.
It's a shame, though - we've only been dating for a few hours.
*sigh*
Time to get my life together and move on...

I've removed the PM from everyone's PM box...
Sorry to everyone who got that... (And I think its everyone)

Something funny went on here for that to get sent the way it did.
I am investigating...

Is this legit, cause I'm not clicking on a link regarding spam.

BTW, I am a real human being -- at least that's what people tell me.

It's got to be a huge amount of work for someone to go to all the trouble of registering on ehMac and then spamming their way through the member list via PMs.

I've read that these forum spammers get paid some tiny portion of a penny per click that goes back to the site they're spamming for. It must be one of those "Make $5000/month working from home" kind of jobs you see posted at the laundromat.

It's legit. It's the spam protection when you send an email to ehmax@ehmac.ca After you respond the software puts you on a whitelist as a trusted recipient.

Edit: Since84, you revealed your real email address in that post — you may want to edit it ...
