Personal /msgs

This is a new one on me.

Did anyone else receive a /msg from a new joiner to the effect of:

Hi Dear It give me a great pleasure to write you after viewing your contact today which really interest me to have communication with you, if you will have the desire with me we get to know each other PLS write (*********** @yahoo.co.uk)

Or was I singled out for my particular brand of charm? :)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

You are not a unique snowflake. I was spammed as well, and there is indication in the CB that others have heard from baby200.	[reply]

I didn't receive it, but I believe Yahoo to be pretty responsive to spam reports. Given that this is a type I haven't encountered before, they might not be as quick on the gun. But if anyone did report the account to Yahoo, please would they report the reaction? Regards, John Davies	[reply]
