It can be explained in many ways that don't involve Apple at all. And the onus is on *you* to prove your assertion that *Apple* somehow did something that caused you to be spammed. The fact is spammers routinely send messages to millions of made-up addresses just to see which messages / addresses bounce and which don't. They often create their list of potential addresses by picking an email domain (which could easily be yours) and then computationally generating a slew of potential user names by combining words from a dictionary or name database along with various other sequential or random numbers and other characters. Once they have this huge list of potential addresses, (which absolutely may include yours), they spam them all indiscriminately. None of the above requires Apple to have sent your address to anyone at all. Sometimes spammers just get lucky. You haven't offered a single shred of proof that Apple did anything at all unwarranted with your email address. Until that time, you are considered to be full of shit. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
