What a great idea!  Spam all the lists and get stuck on spam filters.  
Bogofilter and spamassasin both just flagged you as spam Kendall.

If you're having trouble with specific hardware, you should post bug reports 
on launchpad for folks to look at.  If you have other specific information 
that they could use to troubleshoot the issue, put it in the bug request.  
Spamming mailing lists only irritates people and flags your email address as 
spam.
