Dan,

Same here.  It originated in my particular case when I sent one of our members
some games that were requested on THIS forum.  I don't remember exactly which
member it was because I did not think any more of it until these requests
started to appear in my email.

With a search of the archives I think the perpetrator could be discovered.

This is the only forum I know that posts your email address in your profile.
Being a trusting person when I joined I suppose I was very naive to think they
wouldn't do this.  My email address is now changed to offer some protection from
the "harvesters."  I have a suspicion our email addresses are being used here
for the "Invitation to join the chessdatabase group".

When I sent an email to whoever is in charge of this in Administration I was
told "to change my email address."  Yeah, that's a great solution now......
