With the size of the problem of people manually signing up to spam the board lately, I don't really blame you. In this case it sounds like it was innocent enough, that's good.
To anyone reading this .. if you receive a suspicious PM, please direct it to the attention of one of the moderators and we'll try to sort it out. Or, if you're a new person here and have questions, again, please PM one of the moderators or better yet, post the question in the Q&A forum.. I guess that IS what it's there for!
