unless they changed pattern the past week this wouldn't work... two weeks 
ago the domains from the 1-liner porn spams were registered 3 or 4 months 
ago.  i checked a dozen+ of them looking for anything useful for 
filtering.

if you visited the urls they lead to the same web page text -- something 
so obviously a porn front-door even bayes could have got it right.  (i.e. 
"are you 18?").

it sure would be nice if posting were subscribers-only.
