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] :)
