are unlikely to generate subject lines that will match existing
threads (unless this spam avoidance technique becomes commonplace).

I'm not a sir, but I think it's a GREAT idea. It would have been a PERFECT
idea if you'd posted it to FoRK-no archive, so potential spammers wouldn't
learn how to beat the system. (We do still HAVE Fork-noarchive, right?)
Can't thank you enough for what you're doing,
