do your own darn research!!
I am seriously considering deleting this post. It appears that this post, which comes up first on the relevant google search, coincides with the title of an essay topic which is apparently regularly assigned to high school students in various parts of this wide brown land.
So periodically, we get a series of comments asking for materials on the topic and asking us to email them to various hotmail addresses invariably using sms language as user names. It is already up to 62 comments, which is slowly sneaking up towards being one of our more commented posts.
The comments thread itself is interesting as it shows the various agonised retractions of students who feel that their blatant requests for assistance in cheating might come back to bite them.

Hi,
I’m doing an assignment for school on spam and unsolicited comments. I found this post via google. Could you please email me any information you may have? Thanks

Phil, I admire your patience, with the rude kids of today. Amazing I would have had to have gone to the library to research a topic. Heaven forbid, that you might have to get off your butt and look somewhere other than the net! Shock horror!!
