unless it'll get real work done faster, heh.

get a darn good sized amount of *real* e-mail addresses, and then use them=

for a spamming session? I don't understand anywhere near enough about=20
keyservers or cryptography or that kind of thing (I just know how to use my=

These guys looked dangerous...and hungry,
so to placate them until I found a shrubber,
I fed them an MSN butterfly. They dined
quite happily it seemed.
