Interesting question. Let's take it to comp.mail.misc and we'll have a
good time with it.

Amazing how their URLs get propagated even in posts complaining about them.

Please elide spam URLs - always.

Not propagated - merely repeated. In this case, the elision spoils the
tone of the quote, imo, especially when you follow "He got gift" with
a fiv-dollar word.
