Subject: Spam and Spying

Hi Dave,
A little light-hearted conspiracy theory for IP if you want.

I live in Montreal.  Last week, we arrested (with a habeas  
restrictive Security
Certificate natch) an alleged Russian spy.

Now in WWII, agencies used to send coded messages via broadcast  
radio.  It
occurs to me that, in this cash strapped day and age, an agency could  
broadcast
keywords in spam messages where they would appear as innocuous  
attempts to avoid
filters - message distribution and profit in one easy step.

I would suggest that the huge quantities of spam coming out of the  
US, Russia,
and China are proof positive of my theory.

So remember, fighting spam isn't only for your own good, it's your  
patriotic duty!

Cheers,
Chris
