On related note, it's fun to watch all the spams sent to <oldclosedbug>@bugs.debian.org or even <oldclosedbug>[EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses. OTOH it's not fun to discover that someone spammed <existingbug>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (those escape me since I'm not watching the appropriate mailing list). For the record, right now I'm the primary reason why the spam in the BTS `magically' disappears, once it's reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] :) -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
