Yep. I am now guilty of exactly what I'm going to complain about, but I
want to say it anyway... :-)

I actually didn't receive the original spam, as my filters recognized it
as such and dumped it. However, they did pass through the 10 or 15
replies and discussion of it. So in my case, there was a definitely more
follow-up mail than original spam!
