Well this is a little freaky TBH.
I sent an email to Askimet and within 45 seconds received a reply from a fellow called Matt Mullenweg simply saying try now.
All I gave them was my email address and the name I use.
I have to assume that it was the email address.
What's scary about that? Well it would be very easy to get someone blacklisted if you know their email address.
And no, I haven't been spamming anyone's blogs.
Oh yeah, I'm pure white-hat (under this identity anyway
)
