I agree. I spoke with another friend of mine who knows him personally and he also told me to back off. I thought that the guy was a spammer and I overreacted. I apologize for that. To my defense, it was a misleading information of a commercial nature, similar to what you can sometimes find in spam. As for my attitude toward spammers, I really think that spammers should be ranked with Al Quaida and treated accordingly. Guantanamo is the right place for spammers, if you ask me.
