I would suggest deleting the text.

It is too late for me to delete it, but I have put a request in with the powers that be to delete it.

Though I am curious how one does not need to click on the link to record a hit on his site. Is software that sophisticated?

I've never had reason to try it, but I've always wondered about embedded images. Images are linked in from external servers (ie. photobucket). So when you view a message with an image does the vBulletin software go and get it, or does it just redirect your PC to it? If it's the latter (which would be my guess) then as soon as you view any message with an image your IP address hits the site hosting the image where it can be tracked as a hit. I would assume that the spam message included an image as part of the post.

If I recall correctly, it was text only.

Listen, here, pardner. We don't message about spam around these parts. This hear's a bacon thread and a bacon thread only.
