Probably because it was Board Spam.

Yeah yeah. We've all heard all the supposed legitimate reasons why a post might be cross-posted onto numerous boards.

Whatever the reason... it is still Board Spam and very few cross-posted posts are allowed to stay, anywhere on any board.

I would be more concerned with why you allowed someone else to post something using your name!?

I've checked my records for a [email protected] and don't have it. Is that the email address you subscribed with?

If it is the email address you subscribed with, you may have unsubscribed yourself - thinking it was something else - and then forgot about it.
