If I cared about it that much, I'd keep a special folder for them. As it stands, I'm too lazy to even find copies on the Web and link to them. But it's worth noting that I can't recall ever receiving non-commercial spam before 2002, and so far this year I've gotten it in three categories:

• A fellow who wants to contact someone with a time machine so that he can become a child again and avert some personal event. He has sent at least three different emails by now, each getting more precise about the model of time machine he needs, and the specific dimensions he must visit, to meet his goal.



• A man who thinks that he is living in a phony reality filled almost entirely with preprogrammed shadow-people, and is seeking to band together and form a rebel camp made of other real people, who are exceedingly rare.



• A lengthy pro-Palestinian (and anti-Israeli) screed.

I find the middle guy the most interesting because, wow, he's found a way to actually live in one of those movies where a person survives some planet-wide cataclysm and tries to contact other people any way he can, painting on billboards and broadcasting on the radio and so on. Heck, if that happened to me, I'd probably try mass email, too. It's too bad he's wrong and ended up spamming me, though.
