I'll admit, my only exposure to the "Tomas" spelling is Tomas Holmstrom, a Detroit Red Wing (hockey). And he's Swedish, so I just sort of figured it was native to that country or Scandinavia alone.

Not so new. I was pretty sure he was spam from the beginning. If the thread doesn't get shut down, "he" will probably be back to post in it again. If it does, he'll just start another thread.
My goodness he's been busy the last few days.

My name is Tomas I'm carrying the wheel. Thanks for all you've shown us. This is how we feel. Come sit next to me. Pour yourself some tea. Just like Grandma made When we couldn't find sleep. Things were better then. Once but never again. We've all left the den. Let me tell you 'bout it.
Choo-choo train left right on time. A ticket costs only your mind. The driver said, "Hey, man, we go all the way." Of course we were willing to paaaaaaay!Posts: 1321 | Registered: Sep 1999

Ahem. On a different topic, why does all spam I've seen seem to use bad grammar?
Is there some sort of holy spam city out there where the spam is clean, cogent, worded with proper subject-verb agreement, and peppered with just exactly appropriate punctuation?
And what's with the exclamation marks? Are spammers all plugged into the wall sockets, or something?

(Actually I think it is cool that they are so predictable and boring. Think how annoying it would be if you got interested in a post and then it ended up explaining how v!@gra is just what you need!)

I believe what you are looking for can be found in any reputable newspaper's advertisement section.
Also if you eat canned spam you will find it never yells at you, it just makes your taste buds cry out in happiness.
