Default I Angered Someone

In the last day I have had over 360 email virus emailed directly to my Atrocities email account with AE.net.

Since that is specifically used for SEIV, I can only conclude that someone within the community is very angry with me. This is the first time this account has ever received an email virus, and to have 360 plus emails in one day is a bit excessive.

Update, 401 now. My email address for AE.net is no longer valid.

If I was *that angry at you, I'd tell you.

* To clarify, I'm not angry at you. Theoretical.

Maybe some Star Trek fan is trying to make the Canon Cannon a reality .

No, this started today. I have not had any angery ST fans on my back for sometime. I think this might be retalation for my post about the Iraq War on SE.net. I am over 650 emails now. They are all the same, sober@@ or something.

lol Atro you always think everyone hates you, chances are your publicly displayed email got picked up by some hackers email address farming bot and you got put on the list of people he spams virus emails at. Some post at se.net would not cause this. No offense to you but theres alot better political targets to attack

Well the final tally is just under 700 emails. I have just finished deleting them all and am sweeping my system again to be sure none got by.

I beefed up my spam blocker, both on my end and on the AE.net server so hopefully this kind of thing won't become a regular issue. Tomorrow will tell the tail.

to my knownledge, I have never displayed this email publically in any form that could be considered an email address. It has only been used for SEIV gaming purposes. But never the less, its out there now. And to get nearly 700 emails in one day, well that has to be some kind of record?

He didn't specify how long the strand was. For all we know this particular strand is measured in kilometers.
