    The best thing to do is enable your instant messaging privacy. You can enable it in your Edit Profile Page. This will keep your IM username/I.D.'s from being shown in public. I didn't receive the message and I'm guessing it's because I've got my instant messaging privacy enabled. :D

    i never got this email, maybe because i turned off email sending since day one. :)

    btw this isn't exactly spam since he's actually asking you permission to be included on the list.

    I keep my contact info public and still I did not get the spam email. I think he simply has all email addresses but he just sent to a slice, a portion of them.
