@Dia: Thanks for the update. And thanks for being so honest about what's happened.
@Stainless: No, but you have to remember that they'll send billions of emails and it only takes one in a thousand for it to be worth it for them. Also, it acts as a non-idiot filter, so only those who are most gullible (and therefore most susceptible to whatever scam they're peddling) will reply/click.

A message with a passionate plea about how there should be more guns in the US
Mine too.
Here's an excerpt:
Quote
The primary-school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, approximately 45 miles from the Colt Arms Factory, is just another one in the long line of government psyops designed to persuade the public to allow the government to take away their guns, and their means to defend themselves against the government and the banksters that the politicians really serve.
The small children murders are designed to create hysterical emotions in women to get them to demand that guns are banned. If that doesn’t work they will continue with their evil agenda with worse and worse atrocities on younger children, until they get their way and disarm the people, so that they cannot fight back against government tyranny.

@Dia: Any word on how this happened? This would seem to be a serious security breach.

First of all, I can assure you that DevMaster.net never sells, licenses, or shares your information with third-parties. We take security of the site very seriously, so we'll look into this to determine if there was any compromise. Please forward me the email that you got to "dia at devmaster.net" and we'll investigate it.
Hi Dia, thanks for the reply.

This sounds like someone used the private message system to spam you.
I think this is extremely unlikely. I find it very difficuly to believe that a notification email from devmaster.net that someone had PM'ed me would be totally unidentifyable as having come from devmaster.net.
Back in 2009, when this was previously reported, the site admins acknowledged that the devmaster database had been compromised. So I can't help but wonder if this is the case again.
It would be nice to hear from the site admins.
