I Angered Someone

Wait, I did post it once, the day before yestarday, on the chat channel. I wonder if thats what triggered it?

On the subject of weird email experiences a while ago I recieved an email demanding to know what had happened to someone's trainer shipment.

Now a few years back me and a mate had set up a free forum just as joke, I forget the exact reason. So after we finished with it it was found by scam merchants who fill it with offers for all sorts of 'genuine legit phone/trainer/Xbox/etc'. So I changed the layout a bit and added a nice motto

"Dodgy trainers and mobiles available since quite recently.
Helping part fools from money since 1999."

And yet I still get the odd email from people who's stuff hasn't turned up or want some info on the stuff advertised. The message I take from this: some people are stupid.

It could be that someone with that address cached on their system has a mailer bot. And is sending out seed mail to every address in their book.

700 emails from one infecty is unlikely. No this was some kind of fluke or an attack. Why me?

[Thermodyne]

It would be within the normal range for a small address book.

Yeah, it's probably a spambot that infected someone else's computer. Not someone who hates you. If somebody hated you, you would get closer to 250,000 emails, not a measly 700.
