Flieg here --

  I _really_ doubt that it is this list, since I have been on it for more than
a year now and only receive about 1 spam message _a_week_, almost all from
"get-rich-quick" operators, who have better ways to get addresses than to look
at obscure mailing lists.
  Post hoc non est propter hoc.

  So, has anyone else out there written rondeaux?  If so, what subject matter
have you written about?  Also, how resistent are you in your writings to 
false rhymes?  I've been doing a number of them recently and have come to some
conclusions, but would like to hear of other people's experience with the form.
