Isn't this interesting?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

I just found this in my DU Inbox. Am I really, really special, or did anyone else get this?

As you know DU.com is running their 2nd quarter fund drive, as you may or may not know I am Stewert, I own and run www.oreilly-sucks.com . I would like to help DU with a donation but I am broke right now, I only have $2.00 in my paypal account and that's it.

Here is my offer to you, if you can make a donation to my website I will donate 20 percent of it to DU.com.

And if you need a link to my site here it is for you:

http://www.oreilly-sucks.com

Here is a direct link to my donation page too:

1. I would delete this post and forward this to the moderators.

Perhaps this fellow has nothing but good intentions... but it is still inappropriate.

2. I got it too, with a slightly different story. Deleted it. n/t

3. You must be really special, OLL!

I didn't get an invite to donate, not that I would as it just seems too underhanded to me regardless of honest intentions.

4. Yes, and I wondered how many others got hit

The message text was the same as yours.

Spamming for donations by PM stinks... don't know if it's prohibited (IMO, it should be), but I alerted.

5. I alerted, too

You know, when I started reading it, my first thought was, "I'll make a donation in the guy's name."

Then, I alerted, too.

You bet it should be prohibited.

6. I got it too.

Didn't think to alert, but now I will, so they have some idea of the scope.

Thanks for your consideration.
