        He/she/it *HAS* been practicing, but apparently either   
      
        1. doesn't have the mental capacity to retain whatever   
           lessons/techniques might have been "learned"   
             or   
        2. is operationg under the delusion that people will actually   
           open his/her/its spam, follow the link(s) contained therein,   
           and remember that/those link(s).

   Note that they're all spamposted from the same IP address   
   (NNTP-Posting-Host: 97.96.184.45) which resolves to Road Runner, in or   
   near Saint Petersburg, FL, so complaints to abuse@rr.com as well as to   
   abuse@newshosting.com might be appropriate.
