Well, this is about as scammy / spammy as a journal can get ... putting me on an editorial board I did not agree to be on ...

So I got an email this AM from "Microorganisms Editorial Office"

Dear Prof. Dr. Eisen,

We are pleased to inform you that your information has been announced on the
webpage of our journal's board.

Please check that all of your information is correct here:

Cool. Cool. Except I never agreed to be on their editorial board. And yet there I am on their web site.
