It was me. I just got really, really bored and had forgotten to take my
meds.

About 4am Eastern today I was hit with about 200 spam messages. All  
were in the format:

Subject: [Some Random Phrase]

followed by a line like

price list

and a link.

At the bottom are four lines similar to a signature:

Title and/or Name
Telephone
Email address
Company name

Anyone know what botnet is responsible?
