Ask HN: Ominous email from PG

So late last night I was playing around with some scripting that interacted with HN (submitted a story). I'm not a hacker in the technical sense, so I was just playing around to see what I could make. After a few runs, I got an ominous email from pg asking "What are you doing?". Scary stuff.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an automated email when abuse is detected or did I really raise some red flags? Its from pg's email address, but the sender is "<censored>". I'm pretty curious about all this since he didn't reply to my reply.

Thanks.
