no... but over the past couple weeks i've been seeing an increased amount of spam messages at the email address i use here. ("increased" = "greater than zero" which it was previously). but that could be related to just about anything, because this is the address i use for all message boards i'm on.

Me, neither, although I did check out the profile of above-mentioned person and as soon as I saw .be I thought 'spammmmmm' - I've yet to encounter a .ru or a .be suffixed email address that wasn't spam or a virus ... but I am always willing to be proved wrong ...
Just wait until the Russian woodcutters arrive ... [/in-joke for oh, about 4 people]

Not that one, but I got a pm this week "hay love n da pic" from a new user. That might not be spam, though, maybe she genuinely likes my puppet avatar.

yeah, i hear you henrietta. but i'm hoping to make the point that if you register here to spam us, you'll be outed as the ass that you are. not much else i can do but warn people that this particular member has no real purpose here other than proving themself to be a troll.

I received the same message as Jack, about a week ago. A
GIS for coolfm-mechelen.be shows affirmo1650's rich cross-site posting history. I felt honoured to have been contacted directly, and showed my appreciation by printing out a copy of his site and urinating on it.
