Seriously though Holly, I'd be ready to believe someone on the SETI boards sent that one Cue paranoia It apparently was someone on a legitimate seti related site who sent that out to members who use it's forums. I took a look and at least one other person complained and the owner of the site is doing what he can. ID: 381478 ·

Seems he's going through an alphabetic list and spamming everyone with the same message. It ain't a bot because he/it intelligently surpasses any restriction you may put into place that normally foils bots. There is no way to guard against a determined attack by an acehole... I could possibly prohibit all members from sending personal messages, that would be overly restrictive and counter-productive though. Also, I could make registration tougher, but since it's not a bot, that will not stop it (captcha? blows right through). All I can say is sorry for your inconvenience...It could happen here, only there would just be forum messages since S@H doesn't do personal messages. Obviously, this message was sent via the web site, no spoofed headers, just an acehole with a mission. Regards, Simon. Donate to SETI@Home via PayPal!

I thought Diego's joke was pretty funny, really. yeah, the giggling dog kinda makes it a dead giveaway that he was only playing :) I was not amused. And I have images shown as links. :-/ "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 381588 ·
