I've just seen a couple of considered messages, obviously spam (Re: wastefu VrAGRA from $3). Then I've looked for "viagra", "cialis" and found both : they are obviously fake accounts made by some bot (both at the same time today).
Spam tide is on the high in our mails, I feel concerned it may submerge the Monastery really soon now... What can we do? Are we about to see the horrible and painful death of this good old Anonymous Monk?

update OK, ok, I haven't read the messages carefully enough it seems... :) I've just seen them in the Nodes To Consider list. That doesn't mean that the Monastery is immune to spam forever. I feel concerned because I've seen technical wikis or BB rife with SPAM...
