Hi guys!

This popped up as I logged in today:

Not sure if it's a bot, but I'm not interested in stealing music.
I like to own the plastic.

I just noticed that catherine@nospamfor.us (weird email, considering she's spamming) is the newest member here today.

What was it, Frodo..?
We can add it (if it's not already there) to some spam-lists, and associate that email with it.
Some places/software filter spam from lists of IP's - the ones that seem to send a lot of crap are usually dedicated spamming machines.

A small service to teh internetz.

Hmm, not sure how to filter spam from a list of IPs - I usually ban them one by one, hehe.  

Anyway, PM'd you the info   :)
