Nah. The spammer weenies (in an attempt to fool Bayesian filters) grab random snippets of web pages, blogs, and such like. It is really aggravating, though I can tell it is spam because all list traffic I receive, and I only get geek stuff at home via mailing lists, is color-coded. Anything that looks geek-like, but isn't from one of my lists, is thus easily recognisable. -- Timothy Knox <mailto:[email protected]> I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
