Yes really.  Taking such an informal tone on a first post to a new 
thread.  Starting an email with 'lol'.  Talking about blackmail, and 
giving no real indication at all about this thread was about unless 
someone to look at tech news from the previous few hours to see someone 
had claimed to obtain the root PS3 keys.  On top of that, you post some 
masked URL that goes to who knows where.  Any sensible person would have 
concluded that this was spam.

This isn't twitter.  This isn't instant messaging.  We are not limited 
to 150 characters per email.  Don't use URL shorteners and put some real 
meaning into your emails.
