I'm confident that this practice will do nothing for or against my rankings, but I'm very curious as to why someone would do this and what their motive is. It only happened on Friday for a few hours and did not continue.
Anyone else ever have this happen to them?

There could be a sinister side to this....
maybe somebody who does not like you, or the opposition. has spammed lots of directory's using your url and email address in the hope of lowering your ratings or even getting you banned fro certain directory. It is not a good idea to send directory & other submissions without at least 30 days between submissions so they may be trying to cause you problems. some submission reply's give the IP address of the sender in the confirmation email so if so check these out.
