Unsolicited Emails

[gushy]

Did anybody else get an unsolicited email from Andrew H <[e-mail]> asking for PHP help or was it just me?

His email looked like this:
"Please See My Problem At:
http://chatterbox.netfirms.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Programming&action=display&num=996681140

Please help
Thank You

I asked why he had emailed me and how he got my email address. His reply:

"Because You Are A Members On PHP Builder. So Therefore You Agreed To People
Email You"

I did?! @!#$ I thought that meant I agreed to help people on the forum and to ask for help on the forum.

Emails direct to me regarding an issue on the forum I've posted on is one thing (that's fine go ahead) but unsolicited emails that appear to be an attempt by someone to get users on his forum and to write him a complete content management system are well out of order.

Sorry about that, had to let off steam. :-)

So did anyone else get emailed or am I special?

lol.

a couple people, including myself, told this guy exactly what he needs to do.

i delete any email where the person asks for programming babysitting out of principle.

I figured he had spammed quite a few of us.
Cheeky bastard.

If only he had posted here, he would have found us more than helpful.

Oh well, back to those who deserve our help. :-)

We're all special, but some are more special than others. (Apologies to Mr. Orwell.) ;-)
