Nice find. Beyond just the technical queries, it was nice to find out a few of Satoshi's world views.

I like his notion that those who control the spambots might find it more profitable to generate bitcoins instead, thereby solving the world's spam problem.

Stumbled across this post from Satoshi from two years ago, explaining his views on botnets, the double spending attack, and the blockchain attack.  According to this, the blockchain attack is just another form of double spend as the attacker would not only have to time his attack but would only be able to capture coins he recently owned.
