I just got this: First, a few spam links, then:

“A neck judges the mean attorney over an egg. The addict shoots the rhyme. A machinery worries the glow. Outside the basket bows the ancient hazard. Her bat fudges throughout the danger. The raid contents this ceremony.  
A suite shelves a broadcast razor. Can the child lose? The tower strokes the pleasant phenomenon. The several consequence reads a resource below the noble lip.  
The litter reacts after a triumph! The method analyzes the half paint. My pressure designates the computer around the amazing smell. The promise cups the rushed nun.  
Under the longest adult prevails a discarded adviser. The dirty focus belts a fiddling shoe. Opposite a punch lurks the undesirable. Can the ready glory foul the worst? The live surplus bubbles beneath an awake censor. A cell misprints the troop behind my isolate pie.  
Does the catholic induce the published slice? How does the dyed deposit harden against the official? The unhealthy acorn jackets a friendly domestic. The previous prince congratulates the existence.  
On top of the fog prevails the cotton. Without the estimated chorus interferes our made goodbye. A dumb faithful accents a counterpart. Why does an alliance nest? The daughter irons an unsafe brother. How will the gene reflect?  
Why can’t the museum headline this commissioned researcher? The variant detects the steer. An appropriate symptom weds outside a toe ignorance. How will the diagnostic container break a plastic?  
The outset jackets a flipping reform. A window weds. The visual regime condenses a sock. The inherited contrast retracts the chaos. The indicator remainders the tea. A blurb noses past the underneath chapel.  
Should a recognizable defeat stall opposite the worst? The rainbow withdraws next to the determining gutter. The constitutional enters a farce. The correspondent persists underneath the hate! The shirt hums against a sister guy. The previous card sandwiches the prone physics.  
On top of an analyzed oriental acts an overlooking computer. The finger spits the anguish. The ray aborts the burnt framework inside the firework. The slot sleeps. The rod discovers the behind bone.  
Each toast quibbles behind the ten grain. A tea pants. The alliance reinstates the narrative wrap. The morning moan frowns above the rebuilt jack.”

I was with an ISP once ([c----rnet.com](http://c----rnet.com)) whose filtering became so outrageous that I had to leave. I could not sent normal mail to friends and pictures would stop mail randomly. I said that if I had to use Gmail anyway, why did I need them? Their analyst said he had to use Gmail too to send his mail. That sealed the deal for me. I was gone. Their filter would stop any mail that used the word sex or gay in any context. They said they had to filter this tight to avoid being blacklisted from servers. I hope it puts them out of business.

**Panache** - makes me think of schizophrenian word salads.

**Mr. Accident** - scammer sometimes take their “names” from previous victims, so some scambaiters use silly names like Stepehen King. I believe I was once responsible for a mugu calling himself Charles Manson.

I had a doozy the other day talking about killing ancient gods or something, took me a while to realize it was spam.

I often wonder what Burroughs would think of spam and even CAPTCHA(gentle fire?!) with his obsession with word salad cut ups.

One really clever aspect of random text in spam, is that people foolishly post the text on MBs, so the spammers robots can look for it and now they now that the email address that that particular grouping of words was sent to is live (and therefore a more valuable email address to sell to other spammers).

I can’t even begin to count how many potential band names are in that OP.

Is this similar to the question I posed the other night and some helpful members said that the posters include legitimate tracts to get around spam filters?

Could be true.
