Fortunately spambots are easy to recognize and ignore. So I suggest ignoring them, it's what I do.

I got it, but didn't realize it contained a link. Which is probably for the best.

Just got the message, too. This is better than the bot that was recently at another board I frequent. It was posting pictures to porn websites.

I haven't gotten it yet but with something like this you're better off reporting it directly to Paul so he can kill it right away. With pain.
