A most unfortunate connection

janestarzIt's not everyday that I receive a piece of spam from a name that rings a bell. My eye was drawn to the name of the sender in my bulk box at Yahoo.
Little did I need have the following connection made in my brain. "groat", that is the sender, immediately connected to Terry Pratchett's Senior Postman Groat (Going Postal), who, according to Wikipedia:
"...treats himself with a variety of apparently dubious "natural" home remedies (later revealed to be, in actuality, extraordinarily effective), including concoctions made with sulfur or arsenic, and a poultice made of bread pudding."
Source: Wikipedia; the Ankh-Morpork Post Office.
You do not want to connect this man to spam with the subject:
"Grow 3 inches in length!"
Yup.
