I have a hotmail account that I opened up as just a test of sorts that I have NEVER USED. I just opened the account and check it about once a month to keep it active. This account usually recieves about 5-6 spams per month.. and my email address has a number and a nonword in it (no special characters) so I can only imagine what a dictionary word would get.

So I think it is pretty safe to say that these are not dvdrhelp related.

EDIT: Just checked out lordsmurf.com, I have to say, nice site.. all the information that I have scattered throughout 40 bookmarks in 1 place.
