Ethnic Spamming?? -- FWD:lakhani, incredible cricket software released!]
Hi All, This spam came as a real surprise to me. Somehow these guys have figured out that I am of South Asian descent and assumed that I like cricket and thus my absolute need for "cricket score software." AFAIK, I have not signed up to any "indian" or "pakistani" or south asian websites, they must have dredged e-mail addresses and then matched them with ethnic names. Anyone else come across this fine grained spamming? best, Karim cricinfo123@btv.org wrote:

This will change the way you get cricket scores in your computer!
Until now, you had to visit slow and tedious websites to get live ball by ball commentary...
With this revolutionary software, you will never be stuck at those slow websites to get live score updates.
The CricketBar relays simple commentary and ball by ball score directly to your desktop in a small window strip that you can dock at the botrtom or top of your screen.
You continue to surf other sites or use your computer for whatever you want, while the score is relayed to you without interrupting your work. This is so good, that within a few days we've had over 7000 users!
With CricketBar you can now work and have fun at the same time!
