Tom is a regular contributor to rp-ml, so I must say that I was also a
little surprised at the email asking for the address of one of the most
well-known CAM companies on the planet.
I also smell a rat.
I believe it could well be something to do with web marketing. Someone puts
out an inane question, like is there a web site for Delcam. Then loads of
people reply. This increases the number of web hits and advances the name
of Delcam up the various search engine databases. These data mining engines
are smart, so they filter out multiple hits from the same source. Therefore
all the separate emails on the subject add to the impact factor. They maybe
even have priority settings for associated email groups like rp-ml.
Tom, please tell me that I'm being paranoid.
