Ugh. Please do not moderate through these.

I just ignored previous similar ones, including an award for being "100%
virus-free" and whatnot. Yup, they come regularly...

AFAIK we didn't ask for this, and we certainly didn't ask to get these
unsolicited messages to the dev list.

Besides the site existing only to generate cash by advertisement, it is
stunningly poor quality with false information. While it talks about
3.3.0 (at least in /some/ places), half the page mentions 3.2.5 and
that's actually what's being offered for download.

Also, you just gotta love them talking about development of 3.4.0 and
even 4.0.0. Unfounded, but easily generated buzz by filling templates
with auto-incremented version numbers...
