No, I classified it as "spam" and sent it to the list set aside for that, cypherpunks-flames. Several such spams--from members of both sexes--have been treated the same way, so girls were net especially picked on. In any event, no one was "picked on" by that decision. The people in question self-selected themselves by posting spam. Why "spam"? Because of the childish inclusion of pages of no-longer-relevant previous comments. Whether intentional or merely negligent, the net effect is to spam the list.
I hope to God you're paying attention, Toto. You just got a new rule: inclusion of no-longer-relevant comments. Now if you pay close attention from now on, and write these things down, you won't forget. (until there's a new rule, but that's the way these things work).
