How did this happen!?

This is odd. Remember, I posted that site called "believeyourbeliefs.com?" I surfed around it a little, left no email, and certainly did not talk to the system operator or anything.

Now, I log on to my MSN Messenger today and someone added me to their list. Their address is believeyourbeliefs@hotmail.com. This is obviously the person that runs that site. How did he get my address to add me to his list?

Site operators can trace where requests/links to their site are coming from. Apparently, the guy traced that to this board, saw that you're the poster, looked at the MSNM info in your profile, then extracted your email info from there.

The moral of the story: remove your MSN messenger link before you post something like that next time.

Ahhhh, I see. Then how did he know to look on this board for me? He really had no way to know that I post here, unless he comes to this site already.

The other moral is don't post direct links to sites that might pull shit. That's how we got pre-invaded by WCOTC...

The only reason he came to this site was because he noticed the traffic in his site originated from here. That's why we don't remote link to potentially troublesome sites (not this case, I might add. A lone fucktard who likes to bitch on the internet is not that dangerous).
