Greetings,

SOT = Somewhat Off Topic, though if there is a another acronym in more 
common usage let me know...

Is there anyone out there that has paid attention to the trends in spam, 
in particular topics? Perhaps created a list of some kind, or a tree 
structure ie. financial, health, etc. and broken down further, of 
course. Database might be a better description.

I don't want it for spam filtering, although that would be a great idea 
now that I think of it, but more for curiosity's sake. Lately I've been 
getting blasted by colon cleansing products, no pun intended ;) Is 
anyone else getting this?

Another trend, although a somewhat longer one and at a low level of 
occurrence, are penis enlargement ads that have taken to insulting me. 
"Satisfy your woman, you pin-dick" was the most harsh, and perhaps 
relatedly, the funniest one as well. If aggressive derision toward a 
potential customer helps make you money then I should have been rich 
long ago!

Later,
B
