[new] other spam projects (Avg. Score: none / Raters: 0) (#1)

there used to be a project called "c-spam" in the late 90's in which users could forward their spam to a central address, where it was added to everyone else's spam, which continuously scrolled by on the site while majestic music played. (a takeoff on the c-span cable network, which existed (exists?) in the US and did just about that with information from congress, as i recall.)

however, searching for c-spam now, i come up instead with this project. which i don't quite understand, and doesn't relate directly to spam, but it's kind of funny at least.

seems to me there were some other spam projects floating around that were not presented as "art" projects, but did interesting things with spam, like picking out keywords in an eliza-like fashion and sending psychotic replies to the senders... anyone recall/have links to any of those?
