Can't say I have, could it be that you have recently been in more regular contact with your libido?
Therefore you would be giving your email address to a few extra iffy porn sites?

Some body is skimming addresses from Facebook & other such sites, and selling them. Several have come to me as Retlaw Semloh, when my daughter put that name on Face Book, when it should have ben Semloh Retlaw.

Retlaw.
