Folks:
This is a curiosity. Our local spam filter has classified the recent
exchange as spam, and it went straight to my trash. Frotunately, I look
at my trash occasionally, since the exchange is interesting. Now I ask
you, what is the informational status of spam?

I especially like the way that mother's milk, and Nigeria were turned into a mutated Nigerain scam.
One really has to be careful what one says these days in order to avoid being ignored as another scammer!
Just as I was about to send this, Eudora warned me that this message is likely to be very offensive in its language. Oh my!
