Yes, I received it as well.  I know they've contacted me by phone in 
the past and I've probably given them my business card at one point in 
time at some local gathering, so I just assumed that that's how they 
got my email address.

I don't know anyone at that organization personally, could we have 
scraping spammers right here in DSM??
