Can the sign-up be changed?

Spambot says: “We the spambot nation resent the insinuation that we deserve any less in the way of rights or priviledges.”

ACLU Representative from the Isle of All says: “I think maybe the issue here is a breakdown in communication. When the Spambots say ‘visit random#site.com to buy random#crap today!’ what they are really saying is ‘I love you’.”
