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."
