If you were to take away the ever-increasing volume of spam in this
newsgroup, and remove Ron and Ivor's childish bickering (we can but
dream) there would have almost nothing left.

Seems a pity, but the crap has won.

I am doing a thesis at uni on spam, so I would be very grateful if you could
use my email address for any spam, that you think may be of interest.

Could mean a rather short thesis if he deletes his research material. But
then again, he knows that if he wants an accurate picture of spam, he's
going to need to monitor it from several accounts hosted in different
places.
