You're right, this wasn't the best example of the spurious HTML tag ploy. I got one earlier today or yesterday that was seemingly from this same spammer, which DID have those "bad tags," and when I grabbed this to post to the list I ASS-umed that this would be similar, but you're correct, it's really not.
However, thanks for the analysis. I am not very well-versed in the details of the pattern-matching. I'm just trying to keep the crapola off my small SOHO network. William L. Polhemus, Jr. P.E.
