Actually it's working quite well, there has been a huge increase in spam attacks
over the last few months. I don't know if I can disclose figures but your userid
is 3 characters and gol is 3 characters, you are guarranteed to be randomly
targeted. We could be stopping 90% of the spam going to your account. We're
introducing a new feature in a month or two which should help more.

Do you want to email me some details of your spam problem? We hate spam evern
more than you do. b dash robson at you know where.
