I think this is a somewhat different case. The Zumabot was designed to
suppress discussion, this seems to be designed to attack.
It is possible that this is another spammer, or it could be some guy with an
inadequately dimensioned sexual characteristic who purchased the product,
was disastisfied and is responding by trying to attack the spammer through
mailing list spam.
This is still spam but it is pretty low tech spam, we don't have evidence
for spam infrastructure. It would be different if this had been sent out to
a couple of million addresses.

Below is a spam sample sent directly to the ASRG list and

purpose does this particular spam serve?
Emotional satisfaction.
Is this simply a case of two spammers fighting it out, or perhaps an
attack on someone?
Or crazy people. It's happened before.
