I suspect the writer of this spam knows he's using an invalid sig
delimiter.
What in the world is "Delimiter"


"A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the
boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data
streams. An example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a
field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values."

That way, unthinking posters become spammers too when they
quote the post.
