[mythtv-users] MythTV in my spam

Hi folks

Here's a good one, a little off-topic perhaps.  Tonight, I got a spam
for a mortgage broker with the following junk text in it, designed to
throw off statistical filters (mine caught the spam):

   In general, people are using MythTV to watch analog TV. But when HD
   becomes the standard, MythTV's development may face stagnation. As analog
   becomes an obsolete format, MythTV will also become obsolete. People can
   build their own analog TVs, but they won't be able to build their own
   HDTVs. And thus there's no chance an upstart young innovator like
   Richards will ever create a bigger, badder, cooler PVR for HDTV the
   way he did with MythTV for analog.

Having missed it earlier this week on the list, this spam turned me on to
the SF Guardian article about the broadcast flag!

Just days ago, Isaac was "an upstart young innovator", now he's a
spam avoidance tactic :/

	Cheers
		Jay
