Email Appending Is More Than a Process
Email address appending has been in use since the late '90s, and if my inbox is any gauge there's a rebound in its use.

I thought this all sounded reasonable until you got to the part where you send 6 more e-mails. This is just spam in a different prettier wrapper but it's still spam.
