Hi Alex,

thank you for this nice collection ... I had started to add a few of them.
I agree with you that this spammer probably is not german, but I would guess 
that the
person uses a dictionary / translator and is composing the message on a keyboard
without umlauts.

As for the imageshack: soon after a ruleset was posted that was looking for the 
extremely
short message, I have seen some slightly longer ones ....
