When did Bikeradar start selling Viagra...

...and other 'improvements' - I seem to get a good 75% of all my junk email into the email address I've registered on this site - as far as I'm aware it's only ever been used for competitions and I've not publicised it (I suspect it might be visible if you go preview my profile).

Anyway, all this junk email seems to be offering me vast improvements in the bedroom department - first of, how do they know I need them? Secondly, I already know a few sites that help me with that so I don't need more offers.

What happens to our entry details when we submit our details for competitions online? Do the lists get sold off to marketing companies who may then be using them for less appropriate activities?

I'm not suggesting it's a deliberate ploy and I'm being actively targetted but I'd like to know what is happening with my details once I submit them for a competition...thanks.

well in your settings you have your mail address set to always be visible. I have now changed it to hidden.

Ah, whit an eejit! Thanks for that, I hadn't spotted it in my Profile settings...so it looks like the address has been farmed, not a big issue other than receiving all this bizarre stuff in my Inbox, thanks.
