I wish I'd kept the email for reference now, Steve and Kenny, instead of binning it. It came from someone in Hungary calling himself something like 'Tibor'.
It wasn't your usual spam because it was very much personalised, perfect grammar, chatty, talked about finding me through MR and being impressed by my BB site and what have you. No attachment, by the way. Just a straight email that my security passed as clean.
The bones of the message claimed that adding the tracking pixel to my signature would 'help the community' (whatever that's supposed to mean) and that it was perfectly invisible and legal. His projected earnings for agreeing to this -- unlike the wild offers in other spam -- were a modest $100-$300 a month, based he said, on my generally high profile on the net.
I must confess that I didn't even know what a 'tracking pixel' was until I Googled. I checked, too, with my tech partner and he immediately replied: "Trash it." So I did.
Similarly, Tom, I don't know what a keystroke logger is. Sounds pretty sinister, though. Must dash -- you just made me another appointment with Google.
Hoots. Neil
