nanae is generally used by spammers and trolls.  And the worst
enemy of "anti-spammers" (whatever that is) today are by far
not spammers, but commercial anti-spammers.  They patent their
funny ideas, or if their IQ is above room temperature they post
their FUD and FUSSP disguised as Internet drafts (I-D).

Just ignore it, it's business as usual.  Of course you can also
participate if you like flame wars, but in practice it has no
meaning at all.  Only professional spammers are forced to read
this nonsense, and to try distractions like the "aveyou" thread.

My private discussion with the "aveyou" spammer (represented by
abuse@ of the "hollywoodrx" hoster) was much more effective,
because it's obvious that spamming 1000 addresses with one user
(me) simply won't sell a single "hollywoodprescription", but it
can cause a lot of trouble not only for me.
