I got one of those this morning too, the poor spelling and grammar

news@...co.uk which is an address that I use exclusively for newsgroup

from Usenet.

Would be interested in hearing whether others have come to the same
conclusion.

Such mails are obviously harvested - I've received them only on mail
used for usenet but never on mail actually registered with Blizzard.
