Just get used to it, there's nothing you can do about it...

Take the email addy they gave you, and sign them up for some spam ie: porn sites, sweepstakes, whatever......

I would personally only put my forum name in the classifieds and tell people if they were interested to PM me. As it stands, anything I've advertised has gone in my sig anyway.
