You noticed the cross-posting; this was also multi-posted.
This spammer is a 1-trick pony:

If it happens again, I will. I didn't do more than delete it this time,
because if it happens again I want to know. Most times I let it pass, just
filter it out because spam is rarely interesting.

I'm local to the spammer, & I've sent off a complaint to his/her university.

I'm also based in Melbourne, Australia, & I don't have the faintest idea
what this spam has to do with repairing electronic equipment.
OTOH, I do have a couple of friends who work for Melb Uni, so I might
ask them what they think of you spamming.
HTH!

Melb Uni have promised me that they're going to do something about their
spammer.

Cool, nice if you have someone responsive to talk to. Last time I tried it
was like dropping money into an oubliette and calling it a wishing well. :)
Not that oubliettes aren't cool, in a sinister kind of way.
