No such luck. They were sent to my gmail account as soon as published, and even though my ISP had cut the line during part of the night I still got them all over POP3 shortly after "ifup dsl0". I answered Christian Ebert's comment to one of them (and changed the Subject line), the rest I moved straight to Trash after noticing the obsolete dates on them. I guess "vertical filing" is all that this kind of crap deserves.
