What's most interesting about the half-dozen accusations of xenophobia
I've received (off-list and on) is that they've almost all come from
foreigners. I promise not to read anything into that. Really.

Fair enough, my apologies on my misinterpretation.  However, I am
curious what source you have for your statistic.  Going through the spam
that I've got access to (and it is a substantial amount allbeit not in
the millions of spam per day) I can't seem to associate the spam with
chinese urls, and certainly not to the extent that you indicate (90%).

Cheers,

James
