WARNING: spam alert

Ok, time to come 'out' of the broomcloset.

I'm one of the 5 moderators of alt.religion.wicca.moderated

I've just had to reject 10 spam messages from their queue.

Nothing unusual there.

I wouldn't be sharing this with any of you had the fact that two of the
messages were also crossposted to here (RPCA) and were allegedly from two
upstanding and well respected members of RPCA, two people I would trust
completely *not* to misbehave on usenet (or crosspost to ARWM unless just
replying to an already crossposted and cat related anyway).

*Please* make sure all of you have your virus protection up to date,
installed and working. These messages were most likely forgeries, and had
nothing to do with any of you or your machines, but just be careful, OK?

Was one of them me? I am getting spam from myself to myself again on the
address I use on usenet.
Everything viruswise is up to date here. Spambots gather email addresses
and then aren't they sold on, or something?
At least this time I am not selling v**gra or p*n*s enl*rg***** !!

Heh, I heard a good joke the other day Christina. A guy was at the gym in
the shower and couldn't help notice how well endowed this other man was. He
said "I hate to ask, but were you always like that?" The man said no; I
started rubbing it with butter every day and in two months it grew two
inches! So they saw each other at the gym a couple of months later and the
guy asked if his suggestion had helped. He said, "No, in fact it's two
inches shorter!" The other man asked did you follow my directions for
rubbing it with butter? "I didn't have any butter. So I rubbed it with
Crisco." Oh no.... don't you know Crisco is *shortening*?! LOL

No, it wasn't you.

We've worked out its forgeries, but they're being clever about it and using
the posting names and addresses of people who already post to that
particularly NG - they were replying to a thread I had crossposted from
ARWM. Not coincidentally, a forgery of me appeared too, but my name is on
the pre-approved list so my forgery got through and got posted. Someone
smarter than I am can probably figure out what domain they are coming from
by looking at the headers (headers are mostly gobblydegook to me).

Nice joke, Jill, but I have never heard of Crisco. Is it an American thing?

It is, and it's been around a long time. I'm not sure what it's made of,
to be honest. Is it lard? Or...?

Ironically, Crisco is used as a sexual lubricant by some people. I wonder
if they all know about its, um, properties?

Crisco on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisco
And I didn't know why cooking fats are called shortening, even tho I've
heard or seen it many times before, so I also looked that up.

... hydrogenated vegetable oil.

It is man made lard. Out of vegetable oil and SUPPOSED to be better for
you. It is white like lard but, doesn't make things taste near as good. I
use lard about twice a year. Oh, I still use it in pie crust just don't make
pies much anymore.
