Anybody notice this "spam" has no links, no urls?

Just a few lines saying how good and cheap internet products are, followed
by something that would appear to be an encrypted signature block, colored
so as to be almost invisible.  I used to see nonsense like this all the
time on Usenet, though not so much anymore.

But it might well not be nonsense.

It might be a method for the bad guys to communicate and coordinate with
each other.  (You know, the bad guys who =don't= have access to secure
government frequencies.)  Bad guys who are too stupid, lazy or (worse)
hurried to cover their tracks with a real advertising link.

We might not be able to prevent this everywhere on the internet, but
please, Bill, find a way to keep this stuff out of Vortex!
