			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I&#8217;ve been getting emails address to this guy named Josh Trask. It&#8217;s been going on for over a year, and I&#8217;ve had this email for a long time, I think it was 2005 when I activated my email account.</p>
<p>Anyways. I&#8217;ve been getting these emails for the last year or so. I&#8217;ve been replying to the ones that actual humans receive and letting them know they have the wrong email. I also tell them to tell Josh Trask that hes giving out the wrong email. Typically I don&#8217;t get a response.</p>
<p>Today, I think his wife/gf emailed me and in the Subject it said &#8220;Thinking about you&#8221;. Which was kinda funny. So I told her to tell Josh not to give out this email to his friends because it isn&#8217;t his.</p>
<p>But what really gets my button is the SPAM this guy signs up for. Well, some of it is just silly stuff that I personally don&#8217;t sign up for.</p>
<p>I though he just signed up for MySpace because now I&#8217;m getting all this MySpace Junk. So I looked into it and I found out that this guy us using  &#8220;<a class="autohyperlink" href="mailto:j.trask@gmail.com" title="mailto:j.trask@gmail.com">j.trask@gmail.com</a>&#8221; which is totally messed up.But this isn&#8217;t Josh, this is Justin Trask.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you click show details in Gmail, you will see a (Yes this is You, Learn More). Which links to this.</p>
<p><a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;ctx=mail&amp;answer=10313#" class="autohyperlink" title="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;ctx=mail&amp;answer=10313#" target="_blank">mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&#038;ctx=mail&#038;answer=10313#</a></p>
<p>So what do I do? I cancel his myspace account, he had no friends anyways. But I don&#8217;t understand why there was no email confirmation to opt in. That&#8217;s really messed up. Not only that, but if I want to unsubscribe I have to login and cancel the subscription that I didn&#8217;t even confirm to receive. LAME!</p>
