What I find intriguing is the doubling-up of synonyms. I'm terribly curious as to what mechanism the writer is using to create this message. Obviously they are using dictionary lookup of some sort, but the result is doubleplus crazywild.

I used to receive messages like those by the dozen, though they've eased off recently and I had to wait a while for a sample.

This is the first one "from a woman in Azerbaijan" though; all the others were from "women" living in Russia, or "from Russia and have moved to Liverpool, ENG."
