I think we all got the message since it was sent to the ADS list. Who knows
why?

I'm a little offended that I didn't get the original spam ... I had thought
that I was receiving all possible spam ... how many times a day do I delete
offers of great opportunities to join a chain letter, or to enlarge my
breasts, or to help some Africans stash some illicit money? Not to mention
the ads in Korean which I can't even read at all ....

LALA-L is apparently the Latin Americanist Librarians' Announcements List.
