Let me know if this needs to be moved to chit chat, but I think it applies here if this guy did what I think he did. I recieved this e-mail a couple days ago from out of the blue, never heard of the guy before. I've included my reply. If it turnes out that it was a mass mailing to bb members, do ya think Lance will be happy with the guy? I admire his initiative, but dont like the way he went about it. Yea, call me an asshole, but I get enough spam without more from the jeep world.


Dear fellow Jeep owner ,

I am looking for a few items for my YJ . I will purchase or trade for the
following USED and in good shape;
1.)clutch
2.)pressure plate
3.) throw out bearing
4.)slave cylinder
5.) reverse gear and shaft
6.) OR complete transmission
7.) soft top in spice or black
8.)carpet for the floor in the front


I need these items for my vehicle which is a 92 YJ Six cylinder 5 speed
.It is an AX15 transmission . I will trade or purchase these items .

I have to trade these items;
1.) 5- TSL Super Swampers in mint shape 31X 10.50 -15 LT
2.) My soft top which is in need of replacement , not perfect
3.) Swing away tire rack in black
4.) 4 Aluminum Alloy OEM Wheels for 98 Toyota Pickup


As far as the set of 5 -TSL Super Swamper's 31X10.50-15LTs , they are in
great condition .I bought the vehicle with them on and do not know how many
miles on them . Call me with interest .I am in Syracuse,New York

Please email me at this address with your list ,condition of equipment and
prices .




Just how did you come by my e-mail address? I'm guessing you got it off one of the 4x4 bbs's I frequent. Each of the bbs's I go to has a wanted or for sale section you could try to find these items. I hope you did not just run a search for YJ"s and do a mass mailing, as most of the webmasters would probably frown on this. Unsolicited e-mail is for the most part frowned upon. If you in fact did not just do a search and mass mailing, but instead got my e-mail from one of my posting you would have realized I have a 4 cylinder YJ and cannot help with 6 cylinder parts.

Best of luck,
KWRANGLN

Maybe I just need another :beer: to help me relax some.

fwiw, I got the email too.

I certainly do not speak for the Mgt of this board or any other BBS I visit, but I doubt very much any supply email addresses to anyone for any reason other than BBS related info.

But your addy is available to any web crawler program if you have it listed in your profile.

The crawler hits the topics page, hits the profile and finds your email. Some crawlers can dig very deep and find all the pages and all the references.

(edit, fixed the auto parsing)
for example http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+site:www.pirate4x4.com+pirate4x4+email

Throw in a simple perl program to parse the html results and Boom, mass mailing list.


Now if everyone that recieved the message had a program to reply to tell the sender to not send spam crap like that again, and say programed it to send the message every 1 minute or so... Well It wouldn't take long for that persons ISP to shut down their account.

Since it is a reply I think you could get away with sending a semi harsh response a few thousand times, but then again, maybe not ;)

I just ignored it along with the other crap I regularly get.

Here is the complete header if anyone is interested:

Edit, I put braces in place of LT/GT symbols which don't display.
