Spam PMs

[Aussie Mark]

Anybody else get a diatribe on Buddhism from our new member Patricia?

 

[maddog]

not i.

 

[Kristopher]

Not me.

I'm finding a difficult time thinking of a link between Buddhism and spam where someone's trying to make a sale. Is it an interesting read?

 

[Kevan]

Yes. I received a spamming PM from "Patricia" at 1:29AM EST.

 

[slaine01]

I got all excited - thinking I had won a free Bongo or something when I saw I had a PM....

 

[legion]

I got this as well, I presume the link is one that I should not follow

 

[Mikey]

Yes, I got it, too!

 

[dobs1981]

yeah I got it.

talk about casting a wide net!

 

[IslandBoy]

Yup ............ I got the same!

 

[Thornton Davis]

Yea, there's one sitting in my in box from her.

[jakeox]

Yep. The link seems to go to a very plain website with a lot of links about Buddhism. I can't figure out where the profit is in the spam. Mine said:

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

I di not get the PM, and I really feel left out.

 

[phat5]

Yes I did

 

[bovinehost]

We're banning Buddhists now?

Yeesh.

Reason to show user: "We believe in the separation of church and bass."

 

[Big Poppa]

reason....we are feeling frisky.....

 

[Joey SQUID]

I got one from that nut

 

[fresnorich]

Is it the quote from Albert Einstein?

I didn't get one this time, but when I checked my PM box I saw a similar one from "buddha" back in Aug. of '07.

I also just received the same quote from a Stephanie on another gun forum I sometimes frequent.

What's up with these spamming Buddhist?

 

[bovinehost]

I remember banning Buddha, too. That was an odd moment.

 

[MingusBASS]

Banning Buddha

That's a great band name.

 

[ThePez]

yeah, I got it...saw she had been banned already, and deleted it.
