| Hi, John. | | Me? A spammer? Hah! | | But I can see how someone could easily have gotten that idea from my post. | ;^[ | | Yes, it really was me who posted that. As I said, my son emailed the story | to me and I immediately thought of the discussion here a week or so ago. | And I thought that, even if you were not interested, John, some of the | others here might be. | | No hard feelings, David. In fact, I quite agree with you! But I would have | simply ignored me - as I've ignored a few spammers here over the years. | Giving them attention simply feeds their ego, especially if they think that | they have made us angry. | | Sorry to have caused a furor. I'll try to be more discreet next time. | | RC
Actually, I DO tend ignore spammers. This post had an "odd feel" to it so I made my reply hoping to irk a response.
Your response shows that it is not a form of spam. Spammers are getting very smart. They are making their spam seem like legitimate posts. Often the spammers are members of affiliate networks. They spam to get the "kickback".
In the future, please prepend "OT" to the subject such as...
"OT: Hey, John Pollard - $10 DSL?"
