Not this week particularly, but the spam I do get does seem to be very bursty; for a couple of days there'll be lots, then it'll go quiet again. (Though this is an address I've used, unobscured, on the Web and formerly on Usenet since 1996; "quiet" is 10-20 spams per hour, "lots" is 100 per hour. Spamassassin assassinates about 95% of them.)
