RE: >> A message saying you won the UK lottery would not be very convincing from that Redweek source, so I doubt if assorted spam would result. md << =====================================
If this observation is in reference to my particular post, in which I cited my recent success in winning the UK national lottery (and a Ukranian bride and a new Nigerian "business partner", etc.), I very clearly and specifically stated that the spam onslaught which I experienced was the direct result of an ad placed on TUG --- NOT on RedWeek. That matter had nothing at all to do with RedWeek. I was merely expressing my support for the privacy inherent in the RedWeek ad methodology.
On TUG, all ads openly provide the members'actual email address, not just the site "user name" (as wisely practiced on RedWeek). Obviously, the TUG approach openly invites all of the world's spammers and scammers to add you to their recipient list.
If the point of your own post (entirely lost on me I'm afraid) was not in response to my own observation, then my apologies for adding further to the confusion.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and work out the details of sharing my UK lottery winnings with my new Nigerian business partner, so that I can then concentrate more on my Ukranian (or was it Uzbekistanian, or maybe Ugandan.....) bride-to-be.
