In continuation of: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975031

The WordPress.com account that was created was my AMO username+"addon" - it HAS to have been AMO that created it. Gmail doesn't know it was an addon. GitHub didn't know it was an addon. The only company that knew both the email and that it was an addon was AMO.

So, unless WordPress.com is going around scraping AMO's website and creating accounts without telling people...it has to have been AMO.

here on the support forums user's avatars just got outsourced to gravatar, which is tied to wordpress - maybe the same is going on at AMO?

edit: this is the only way i can imagine, why this is going on...

I kept searching for things like "AMO wordpress.com" and "github wordpress.com" ... they were missing a connection. The connection was github > gravatar > wordpress.com

So, now the real question is: Why is wordpress.com sending me a survery about not creating a blog post, when all I have is a gravatar account.

I.E. When I log in to wordpress.com, there is a link in the menu to "create blog"; so, they know I don't even have a blog...why is it odd for me to not have posted on a blog I don't have? Their "algorithm" for sending out that survey email was totally screwed.

OUTSOURCED the avatars to a company that recently got hacked (wordpress) and the hackers took over many users e-mail accounts and sent viruses from them? OH GREAT. I'll stick with no avatar, thank you.
