Hi guys... I'm offline for a few days due to a broken machine... I'm posting this from my brother's place. I hope to be back online by next monday at the latest. Obviously, I can't wield my katana in the meantime. See you next week (I hope).

Nothing on SFS/Google. The recent decloak tingles my spammy-sense.

Clear-cut case. Commence castration.

Yeah, a diet couch is the perfect spot for reading about sports.

With EV currently computer-less, is anybody actually dispatching these at the moment?

Right, several minutes later, and I've done a feasibility study.

Here's what we need:
- An admin to seize the account, change the password and remove the spam-link.
- A new usergroup (with suitable symbol!) to put the pet(s) in. I suggest naming it Spambots or somesuch.
- Optional, but nice: Use the signature field to put a caption describing why it has been preserved for posterity. Kinda like the things explaining abstract paintings...

And presto! we have the Spambot Museum.
