Oh for cryin' out loud. How many spammers do you think actually come back
and see their spam message?


Zero.

Where do you get the five minutes? Do you
think the spammers actually care that someone calls it spam?


Nope.

You in effect, are insulting many valuable posters (problem solvers) in this
group. Shame on you.

People who feel compelled to label it as SPAM to assist the rest of us

They need to continue solving problems and stop acting like they are
providing a valuable service by informing us of spam.

But not everyone is as intelligent as you. Don't you think there are many
novices out there?
Give them a break.

You continue doing what you THINK you're doing well------impressing someone.

Think very carefully! Doesn't your posted statement come from someone with
a
low IQ?
"mikeyhsd" wrote in message
...
it's a matter of low IQ trying to prove to others it is intelligent.

thinking that the correct spelling of SPAM will do it.

Well, if they're using a newsreader, changing the subject to "Spam"
ain't gonna do anything to help that. The offending post is off
somewhere else, not to be seen.

Changing the subject and posting something about the unquoted poster
does absolutely nothing. At least quote the email address of the
offender, huh???

Pure spam plus a lot of nonsense, e.g. this statement: "resistors

current to a voltage"

Another orphan (subject changed) post.

Don'tcha think most people know "spam" when they see it?
