Check your spam box

Like everyone else said, spam.

But still that doesn't work anymore either, it doesn't take much to write a scraper that matches for those types of keywords and replaces them with the right stuff, that's why I use different techniques such as:

aim/gmail in my sig at googles email services.

If you can't figure that out, you're an idiot.
