Default What is the IQ of the averge spammer?

I don't think it is very high because they sure can't type for shit. I got this one in my email just a few minutes ago:

"Ci-iallis Sof-tabs" is better than Pfizer V-iiaggrra
and normal Ci-ialis because:

- Guarantes 36 hours lasting
- Safe to take, no side effectts at all
- Boost and increase se-xual perfoormance
- Haarder e-rectiiions and quick recharge
- Proven and c-ertified by e-xperts and d-octors
- only $2.99 per tabs
- Special offeer! These prices
- are valid u-ntil 31th of August !

Precisely. That's also why you see seemingly random words thrown into spam that have nothing to do with the subject of the e-mail. The random words are meant to throw off all but the smartest spam filtering systems.

YEah I knew about the subject line one but I haven't opened any spam in a long time, usually straight to trash.

I might have to get a better spam filter now...got any reccomendations anyone?
