2 days ago I responded to Mayo Pardo's post in the engraving section, to do with his line-cutting issues:

--my post reads as follows--
And this morning, I get this email...
deburr.jpg
"Let's make deburring more fun"....
Seriously??
There is no possible way this is a coincidence. The engraving business is generally regarded as a 'marking' industry, to do with awards, name badges, etc... It is NOT regarded as part of the "machining" industry. Therfore, the odds of anyone just randomly correlating my engraving business with a machine shop business and me getting email spam for a better deburring tool 2 days after I used the word "deburring" online, is simply astronomical.
And the un-nerving part, where did they get my email address?? I suppose the same computer algorithm that found the word "deburring" was also able to track down what can loosely be described as "my website", and got it there, but I have to wonder, did maybe they get it HERE?
For a long time now I've refused to type certain words or initials in emails, online forums, or any other 'internet venue' just because I've always felt, someone is checking... Maybe I'm paranoid, but, someone is...
<< edit >> -- I also just noticed they used my name in the ad, "Hello Kevin"....
AND- as you can see in the pic, the email address they sent to was "kevin@"-- the email on my website is "info@"...
NOT cool....
