I LOVE IT!

This has to be the most noteworthy spam I have ever recieved..
This company has some damn bot that goes about and reads pages, when it
finds a page that has links to what it thinks are topics that relate to
the company (maby they search for words, or their compeators URLs), the
bot searches the page for an email address and then sends the below
message..

After looking at the page I see that the doc source has only two email
addresses anywhere in it.. One of them is the linux-kernel list..

So bridgepath, you say at the bottom: 'If you have any questions reply'..
Well I'd like to know where your apolgee is for spamming the members of
this list, and lying about how you got the address (I bet you were
surfing)... I'd also like to know where you got the nifty idea.. :) (Now I
just have to develope an AI that can find positive references to products
I dislike and send nastygrams to webmasters)..
