Yes, that sounds plausible --- hi5 is a social networking website, IIRC.
Interestingly enough, the first message I got of this sequence was
Luiz'. My spam filter had caught and eaten both Julio's original message
and Leo's reply. Thus going to show that just like wasps, spammers will
go away (or appear to!) if you ignore them.
[Now even more hopelessly offtopic: my spam filter software is a
greylister of my own devising --- which didn't kick in in this case ---
and the totally excellent spamprobe, a non-Lua-based learning Bayesian
filter. It's a tiny fraction of the size of other Bayesian filters like
DSPAM and spamassassin, consumes far less memory and CPU power, and
appears to me to be far more effective. I am not a compensated spokesman.]
