Heh. Yeah, just like the Nigerian Spam Scam goes back to the early days of the postal service. A story in one of the Grantville Gazette installments revolved around some high school kids adapting that one to 1600s Germany. :)
Unfortunately, I kinda want strangers to be able to contact me out of the blue on the account that's getting all the spam, for various reasons, so I'm reluctant to over-filter or abandon the address.
