My goodness. I thought I was simply being targetted by Nigeria for the
past 2 weeks.
I've been averaging about 3-7 nigerian scams (of many various flavors) a DAY.
I'm sure it has to do with the IDM-L archive that simply displays all of
the list's email addresses in plain text. I haven't gotten much of
anything to this address, but my old address (eggy at eggytoast dot com) is
flooded.
It's enough to make me want to unsubscribe
