Uh-huh.. "Veronicko Karlsson, ASCII artist extraordinaire" doesn't have the
same ring to it <eg>

Everybody gets the same amount of spam: TOO MUCH.

And it doesn't help that alt.ascii-art is near the top of alphabetical
lists, either--some spammers are lazy.  [ moment of silence for
alt.adjective.noun.verb.verb.verb ]

I post to a group that is about programming but any newbie or spammer would
not know just from its name... and I post here..

Most of my spam is sent to my MSN id (sunflash_the_mace) but I never use it
anywhere--It's not in any of my mail or news programs--so i don't know where
_they_ get it--i'm really freaking out now... I made the mistake of
cross-posting a message to a jp.* newsgroup *once*, and now I get spam from
*.tw that's in Chinese or japanese or something.. ugh.
