Plug in your email address.
New How bizarre.
Someone's been looking for an old email address of mine repeatedly, back in late July/early August.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
New Don't plug in your address...

...plug in someone else's. It's in part spam-harvesting, I suspect.

\r\n\r\n

Snopes has [link|http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/wordofmouth.asp|this to say], comparing it to an old "$20 for mail not to you" PO Box rental scam.

\r\n\r\n
\r\nThere's no "report" or any other useful information to be found here \ufffd just a notification that some anonymous contributor recently submitted an "I HAVE INFORMATION" entry on you. If you want to find out what this anonymous contributor actually said about you, you have to communicate with him through Word-of-Mouth's ANONYMOUS EMAIL SYSTEM which \ufffd this is where the "sucker" part kicks in \ufffd is only available to Word-of-Mouth "Power Users": One-Year Subscription $19.97, Two-Year Subscription (BEST VALUE) $29.97. However, all the "Power Users" who have written to us about their experiences with Word-of-Mouth have reported that after they paid the fees to learn what was being said about them, all they learned was that the anonymous contributors had "misplaced" whatever information they supposedly had to share. \r\n
\r\n\r\n

There's also a Usenet [link|http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=binir3%24mcn%241%40News.Dal.Ca&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dwordofmouthconnection%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3Dbinir3%2524mcn%25241%2540News.Dal.Ca%26rnum%3D1|thread on nanae], recommending: "They are spammers and extortionists. Firewall any IP that sends you their crap".

[link|http://secretadmirer.com|http://secretadmirer.com]

I got a supposed "someone has sent you a secret admirer" email that I threw away as spam. Not a bad way to harvest email addresses, I suppose.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
New My objection to all of this stuff is...

...why the fuck would I want my peronal information/communications to be managed by some anonymous fly-by-night?

\r\n\r\n

I barely tolerate my ISP. Hotmail/Yahoo mail are still an "in the event of an emergency only" proposition. All this stuff like Friendster, online dating, etc., just wigs me out. There are 21 sites that have permissions to set cookies in my browser, and several of those are related hosts within a domain. Sorry, I know what you can do with a database of 50k - 100m users, with linkable characteristics. You ain't gettin' mine.
