"Feedback" Marketing

I received this e-mail via the contact form on my blog yesterday:

I enjoy attending your workshops, am a regular visitor (read: fan) of your website, its always fresh, often humorous & always informative! Keep it up! Next time you visit KC, check out the "[name removed] Bar" for great food, music, service & atmosphere.

Now really, does the person who left this but of feedback expect me to believe that they're really someone who's met me, even virtually? I'll admit maybe I'm wrong (please correct me if I am) but I find that very unlikely. I will give them point for creativity though.

Please read this important follow-up post.
