Hi macaddict, Thanks for the reply. Yes, a hardcore spammer would indeed go crazy spamming, and usually a hardcore spammer relies on automated mailings to do the job. I am referring to a spammer, hardcore or not, sending out millions of e-mails or only dozens, both manually and using automated mailing software, so I am trying to cover the entire base of such an act and ethic. I posted the above notice on the 15th, and the original person who sent me those messages still has not responded to my original e-mails. That is around 15 days now, so using your definition in the second paragraph, I am not being responded to either. Yes, a real person contacting me is nice, which happens everyday; ask any of my readers and they will let you know how they contact me anytime. However, my original post left a lot of open space for the person who originally e-mailed me and others using the same template, to let me know that I am completely wrong and that my assumption is wrong, and he/she has still not responded. You and the admin here are responding more, so I am going to assume, based on what I am noticing and what is said on this page, that for this issue, you and the admin here have acted nicely in response to this post, whereas the original person who contacted me has not. It is not nice to leave me hanging and not replying to any of my e-mails; it sounds like a bulk advertising e-mail, where I am not being responded to by the original person who e-mailed me multiple times. Thanks again macaddict. I really appreciate it, since it clarifies more things and lets me know what things are real and what are virtual perceptions [which may or may not be real], for things including what I originally wrote.

Hi admin! :) Thanks for responding. Wow, that is indeed amazing. I had originally gone around thinking "Am I being spammed?" or "Am I really that good?" Comment forms are there for contacting, but if someone uses the contact form to send me similar e-mails as others, and never respond to me, I start thinking if there is something wrong with the e-mail or if I was being spammed. Like I said in my original post along the lines of, "Am I taking this out of context? Or was I spammed just to be lured into the site?" You personally didn't bug me; I love being contacted, though confusion about the same e-mail sent to more than one person and non-response turned an excited nature into "Was I spammed? :( ". It's just the method that threw me off track, and also the fact of immediately finding out that others were getting the same e-mail also. I am glad now that I also publicly doubted my ownself, throwing in the question and the assumption that I may not be completely right. Thanks for explaining what you did; I really appreciate it. macaddict, thanks! You have a point. Spamming could indeed be sending to millions of people; however, are you saying that sending any e-mail [not the e-mail we are discussing, since admin above responded about it already], sent in batches of 5-10, or even 20, can never or not be considered spam? . lol @ "Your post is proof that spam works!" You're funny, and have an interesting point. I hope you can get the supply of what you need. ;)
