Steve,
As you probably already know, there are a host of ways these creeps get your email. Two of the most common are: if you ever used this particular email addy to fill out any form online, and if you have a web page, does the email addy show up on it? A web crawler could have plucked it off a webpage (if you have one).
Hopefully, azGC and GC.com are not compromised by web crawlers! Guess we will all know soon!
