A quick browse through my domain's catchall spam folder shows an e-mail addressed to techdirt@mypersonaldomain. I don't have a techdirt account -- nor have ever used this e-mail address anywhere. Yes, spam bots make guesses, folks.

The Internet would be a better place if people would stop, take a deep breath and think before they type.

Good idea: Let the dropbox folks know that you received spam to a custom address tied to their service and let them look into it, whether it be a directed spam campaign or a possible leak.

Bad idea: "OMG!!1! Dropbox is pwn3d! Admit it! Apologize for your wrongs!"
