Flex Data Services is an Adobe product. If I was to buy the domain name Flash-Player.com and sign a letter "Flash Player team", it would be equally misleading. I can't believe that Adobe doesn't have an issue with this but whether or not they take offense is their business. I personally do not appreciate spam. We have no idea who you are and why you are collecting this data. Why should anyone answer this unsolicited email? Hi Todor,

I just wanted to use something different than my personal name and I haven't trying to confuse people to think this mail is from Adobe. If I wanted so I would sign with "Adobe" and everything will be clear :). As you see I'm not hiding. Everybody interested can look the domain info. Even my real mail is there :) So sorry once again for this confusion. I'll be happy if you remove this post from your blog, but if you don't it's OK. I desire it :) Sorry for not being more inventive with signatures :).
