It's not enough to clog the mail system, but it does prove the point.
since this sub-thread alone has more than four messages, the entire mail
generated by this hoax is indeed more than crap generated by a single

I know I could have used alt.digitiser, but then some pedantic git
(maybe even the same pedantic git :) would have claimed that newsgroups
generate no mail :-O
