"The only way 'I' can see how this is being done is someone has some sort of program that allows them to use someones email address, and that the person doing this is on THESE FORUMS, but all you smart people would have already figured that out"

That's silly. It doesn't have to have anything at all to do with the forums. It may've come from a poor guy who ticked off a hacker in the far region of a country you've never even heard of, but who had the email of your friend's friend's friend... if you see my point.

Especially since you guys seem to rely a lot on MSN Messenger. Not sure, but doesn't MSN also send the email addys to your address book? I thought it did, which would explain why people are getting emails from people they never had actualy email contact to, but wanted to chat with (maybe even never saw the other person online). Or vice versa.

Anyway, I don't think it's anyone on this board's fault.
