[thelist] spam?

[Matthew Lewis]

I get that type of message all the time. I never even go look at what
the site is.  If they showed the slightest sign that theyhad actually
seen my site, I might be more interested. But it's clearly an
automated, canned message and I just don't care that much. If you try
this, I'd suggest you at least put one or two details at the very top
of the message to prove you saw their site.
