Yes, and the really peculiar part is that the spam consists of a
signature, followed by a quote of the previous post... how does one do
that??? I thought sigs were the last thing that could be posted...

I thought sigs were the last thing that could be posted... You thought wrong. The content of your post os whatever you make it to be. Note that all that comes below my sig was added by me, by hand. Sure looks like I quoted you, though. ObAscii: A good spammer is a dead spammer.

It's so sophisticated and clever that it knows you'd think "No spammer would be stupid enough to have their name in capitals!" so you click on the post and WHAM (!!) you're hit with the spam. It's so stupid it's genius! Rowe

I appreciate that spammers are getting cleverer and more sophisticated all the time, but how come they still have to type their name IN CAPITALS? Don't they realise that it's a dead give away?
