Subject: Getting hammered by spam virus :-(
on a related note regarding spam.

I recently signed up with spamcop. seems to be working ok as brand new=20
(fresh!) spam was discovered today. hopefully, this will start working so=
on.

I am getting some enjoyment out of making some poor spammers life a livin=
g=20
hell (especially those that market the illegal cable device, the manhood=20
enlargement pills and the internet pharmacuticals).

perhaos more of us should sign up. it'll definitely prove helpful.
