| |  Is there no limit...........
Honestly is there no limit to spammers. I mean I have seen so much of this stuff lately its unreal. Granted some of it maybe for real but I would be willing to bet that most of it is just a sells pitch. How much or any of this stuff do you think is for real? I mean do you ever get tired of clicking the warning triangle? I maybe outta line for posting this if I am Nicko feel free to remove it with no hard feelings on my part.
Best Regards Cakerookie.... |

BB its not that I hate them I don't but get real I mean posting all over the board is kind of annoying. Why not just put the thing in one forum and be done with it. I mean chances are its going to get removed anyway so why post the stuff? Is it mean't to be a distraction?

I wish spammers wouldn't hit resource sites, perhaps it is beacause there are REAL people, doing REAL things, and it is the only way to get noticed.
I agree with all of the above posts.

Spammers are relying on one scientific fact of life for their livelihood. And that is "The AVERAGE IQ is only 100. That means, by definition, that every other person you meet is "below" average in intelligence." Those of us who are familiar with statistics, believe that the statisitical "bell-curve" has been skewed to make more people feel "better" about themselves.

On most forums they have rules stating No Spam. What gets me is spammers seem to still think it's ok to do so. | | |
