Bizarre Usenet message

A confusing, incoherent and apparently defamatory message appears in an automated spam report.

I shan't repost it here, but felt it needed to be reported; hopefully this is simply the work of a lone crank.

Yes, I have seen this in a few places already. Some spam bot generated this message automatically, it is reusing parts of several web pages including this old blog post: http://lucisandor.blogspot.com/2005/12/ ... ch-no.html.

Yeah. Some people think it's an attempt to un-train spam filters. Others think something more sinister is happening, of which reusing text from a blog that says ABP has a spam like campaign is only the first step.
