Actually whenever you join any of these social networking sites they offer to import your email contacts and invite everyone who's email you have to add your profile. It's not spam in the classic sense it's just that enrique got click happy and didn't realise he was not only hitting the list with it but every single contact he has in his gmail or hotmail or whatever he imported.
<br><br>Not malicious..more unconcious than anything.<br><br>Considering how many of his "friends" will write to him today saying "wtf is this email you sent me" I'm sure he'll read more closely before blindly clicking next from now on! lol

<br>Is Enrique a list member who genuinely posted that? If so, my apologies<br>to Enrique if you were merely trying to enlist friends on your profile.<br><br>As Pat says, it's an annoyance and considered bad form.<br>
It looks like a spam tactic where spammers obtain a list<br>they want to filter for active email addresses. Please don't do this.<br><br>a.<br><br><br>On Thu, 18 Oct 2007 17:00:44 +0200<br>Patrice Colet <<a href="mailto:pat@mamalala.org">
