At least 47 of the first results for a Google search on my name gives stuff that is me-relevant.
Last year, I started to get spam to the email I signed up to http://www.astronomyforum.net/ do being a good net citizen I informed the admins of that forum about this. I found out that I wasn't the only one that was getting spam to addresses that were used specifically for that forum as there were three other users that were saying the same thing. What was the admin's response? Perma-banning my account on that forum.
Definitely not the expected response, but apparently it's typical behaviour of those running that site to do this once it's known that the email list was compromised.
Thankfully I had no real personal details in the database on that site, but it's a pity to see such a knee-jerk reaction to something that most real admins would be happy to know and then be able to do something about it.
What would you do in the same situation? I just walked away and blacklisted the email address used, as I am still receiving spam to it.
I was in college in the University of Limerick with the Irish developer behind the drm-next tree, and he's a really great guy. He was a member of Skynet, (the UL Computer Society) along with some other people that have gone on to be fairly visible members of the wordlwide Linux community, including the likes of:
Mel Gorman, kernel memory hacker;
Dave Airlie. AMD graphics developer,
Caolan McNamara, who did the first MSWord converter.
Irish Linux hackers FTW
