Mike,

No problem. In fact, I just uploaded a new version of the list to the
website a few minutes ago. It has now grown to 1,987 listings. Today has
been a particularly bad day for spam, for some reason. Worse than most
Sundays, in fact. This should add another 100 or so fresh spammers to your
file. A lot of them were just added this weekend.
