The site is is http://anotherspammer.spam It's unfortunate when a great idea like http://www.freerice.com/ becomes yet another way for a spammer to piggyback on the good intentions of the truly caring. -- --Matt.

But the poster pushed too many buttons: multi-posting with an anonymous-looking address and a reference to a home page. Plus, no past contributions to the groups. (Hint for future non-spammers-with-a-legitimate-promotion: Don't do this.) -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

(Hint for future non-spammers-with-a-legitimate-promotion: Don't do this.) I went to NBC news and searched it out first. THEN I was willing to go to the site. So I wasn't completely trusting. And it is exactly as promoted. Assuming that NBC checked it out. I think the problem is that honest people don't realize what the dishonest people do. Sad, huh? Judy |

I'm not sure whether that was a good idea, considering your new reputation as reported by Sparrow. I hope you didn't give me a virus. I think the problem is that honest people don't realize what the dishonest people do. It goes back to hanging out on a group, just reading for a while. It doesn't take any particular savvy to see how best to promote something. Sad, huh? Yabbut, these days no one should turn on a computer without a certain degree of cynicism. -- --Matt.
