I suspect the latter.  They hit various newsgroups last night.
Later on they disappeared off the newsgroups.  My guess is 
they are whold word cypher and the decrypt key for a one-time
reference is on the 5th and 6th lines.

Later on in the evening, the messages changed to "visit my 
p***o site" with what I think is a numeric decrypt key pair 
in the Subject Line. 

The messages on the other newsgroups varied in content
this group did not get them all.
