vi. A word about SPAM


    Since I started to post this FAQ I've been inundated with junk emails
    from mindless shits that can't respect anyone's privacy.  As a result
    all email addresses are listed with exclaimation marks in place of 
    the periods to save my friends from the curse of SPAM.

    "What are Spammerz? They are parasitic, thieving, bottom-feeding, 
    asocial would-be entreprenuers with Ayn-Randish hero complexes, who
    abuse UseNet by sending out massive numbers of newsgroup messages 
    (and email) advertising porn sites, phone sex lines, psychic readings,
    make-money-fast schemes, multi-level marketing schemes, and other 
    methods for separating you from your hard-earned money without 
    providing anything of use in return.

    "Why Spam? There is a Monty Python skit featuring a song, the text of
    which is essentially "Spam" over and over - that's all you get - it's
    everywhere.

    "Welcome aboard."
