Someone created this account?

[gravitywell]

This is mildly unusual.

The otherday, I recieved an email in my inbox telling me to click the link to authorize the account creation on tomshardware.com

I deleted the email. because I had no created an account here.

That was last week, sometime. Tonight, I get an email from tomshardware asking if I recieved a good reply and to rank the best response to my post.

My post? I don't have an account, and I have a post? So I came here, reset the password and what do I know, I get an automated password reset sent to my email.

Can someone inform me here? Why would anyone use my personal email account address to create a forum thread complaining about google ads?

Perhaps it was a lucky guess? Seems kind of strange, but perhaps they just "made up" an email address using their preferred username. At least your second post makes more sense than your first

You probably got that email because of the following thread.
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/17347-63-google

It's been about long enough, where the emails would start going out. Does that thread look familiar?
