recent wave of german right-wing spam

I felt very sad and embarrassed about the recent wave of right-wing spam coming from Germany (mainly from a uni mail server in Rostock which had been abused for this by an external person).

Yesterday, my work inbox received about 10 such dispicable messsages - no doubt I'll be greeted with more on Moday morning. A colleague forwarded me a message that he had been sent - not knowing what the german email was about and asking me for a translation. He thought it was a joke. I tried to explain to him what it was and how it potentially came to him - most likely because he works with me and he's in my adsressbook.

I guess it's just a taste of the things to come. Maybe the more this is being covered in news and made public, the quicker these people lose interest in distributing lies this way.
