I can take this, cos it's in my timezone, if no-one else wants to. I figure
the key point about the random word spam is that it's just trying to
overwhelm the bayesian filters. Personally, I'm finding them _slightly_
effective (2 or 3 a day slip through if they hit the right words) but not
significantly more than that. Fundamentally, they still have to put words in
that sell a product, and that screws them over.
