Spam Themes

Being badly affected by spam at the moment. Several themes recur:-

T.I.N.Y. S.L.U.TzY T.E.E.N.s F** and variations thereof
"Here's the newsletter you signed up for"
Viagra and all sorts of other drugs
"How was your vacation?"
etc
etc

Do the themes give a clue as to the source of my e-mail address?(not that I've ever knowingly browsed anything to do with lively teens, viagra, etc!!) The spam filter sends most of it to a bulk folder, but I get around ten a day in my regular folder.

Also had two recently with aviation themes - I've registered with various bona fide aviation websites over the last year or two - is it possible that they aren't as secure as I thought, or is this coincidence? In this situation, does de-registering help tp stop the spam or is it too late?
