Guest Newbie Coder Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 [PLAIN]Re: ***[sPAM]***[/PLAIN] Re: ***[sPAM]*** Sid, If you go in the XP.General newsgroup you get many users saing the same. Have you told Pegasus who does the same as I in the newsgroup to do the same? I have reported the messages to Google & Microsoft which may get around to deleting them I reply to let users know to ignore it & I will continue to do the same -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Sid Elbow" <mevagissey@gmail.com> wrote in message news:b3bb2$46d4c336$4c0a8021$7060@TEKSAVVY.COM... > Newbie Coder wrote: > > SPAM MESSAGE REMOVED > > With all due respect, your responding to these posts may make you feel > better, but it does nothing for anyone else except to further increase > the noise level. > > It's much better to simply ignore them.

I haven't "told" anyone to do anything ... I merely pointed out the net effect. > I have reported the messages to Google & Microsoft which may get around to > deleting them You may get a canned response but not much else. Extremely unlikely that anyone will get around to (or even bother) locking the barn door after the horse has bolted by chasing down this stuff. Nor will it make a dent in future spam postings. > I reply to let users know to ignore it & I will continue to do the same Just how "wet behind the ears" do you think people around here are that they need you to run interference for them? People can recognise these postings from a mile away and just don't open them. Continue to "help" them if you feel some urgent need to but I think the most likely result is that they will just consider you part of the background-noise problem and act accordingly.

Flagging spam as such has its use in that it defies to some extent the efforts of the spammer to advertise his wares. Ask any billboard advertiser how effective his poster is when defaced.

I am no authority on spam, hence there is no point in mentioning my pen name to support your argument.
