Responding to spamers

I noticed that there is usually one or two here that respond to spammers when they post here. That is the aim of their message, they are Phishing for email addresses to sell. I havent evew paid attention to whether you can actually respond to messages on this site by email but the worst response you can make to a spam message is to reply to it in any way. It is best not to respond in any way and just ignore the attempt.

Comment by THE ORIGINAL EARTHMOM on November 26, 2011 at 10:28am: I do respond, in a message replete with ALL (VERY LOUD) CAPS, LOL...pointing out that they are spammers, shame and double-shame on them, and that I am going to report them to admin, and they will be removed. Then I do exactly what I threatened to do, and Aussie Glenda gives them the boot.

It may not be absolutely correct to tell them all of that...but it surely feels (self-righteously) good, lol, so until God wops me upside-the-head with His spiritual 2x4, to let me know I need to cease & desist, I may (just possibly) continue. (LOL...40 yrs sober doesn't make us perfect, just progressed to be a bit better than we were at a previous point in time. I haven't been walking on any large bodies of water, yet!) =P
