[Privoxy-devel] Fwd: Re: Problem with link?

[Ian Silvester]

Thanks Andreas, 

This guy seems to be spamming anyone who's ever linked Privoxy in the aim of promoting his VPN affiliate site by spreading FUD about one of our sponsors - others have let us know they've been similarly contacted. 

Thanks for your prior patronage and for continuing to link us! 

Cheers, 

Ian
