But they do make a good point!

Hook me up too! I like to ridicule them first though, is that bad form?

I wanted to get this car for my gf, I'm wondering if it will fit in her caboose. I mean trunk.

Thanks to the MODS. It isn't easy patrolling some of these dorks.

The only times I lose respect are when the Trolls and Spammers get on here. I tend to work 'em over when theyare so obvious. all in good fun though as it gets to be rather funny.

Well, since I doubt they are going to be adding that functionality (it would be cool)...I'll be doing it manually.

I ran out of time when I ran out the door this morning, but I was already updating my avatar to have the kills on it. I suppose they were more like assists, sort of like this scene from Tom Clancy's Clear & Present Danger when Clark & Chavez were lighting up the big truck so the bomb could acquire the target.

One of the funniest parts.....aside from watching the whole forum grab their pitch forks....is that these auto-spammers can't read your messages back...

I hate to be the one to post this question . . .

But where does PQ fit into all of this?

I actually got a response last night! Dud wrote back in what appeared to be Korean...

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure this was the one that set him off.

Not true. You can ask GTHAVIT or Tag about the response I got from a spammer.

It made reporting so much more fun.

Short answer Yes, long really long answer No.

I may of used a bad example, although I hope you get where I am going with this.

It all depends and I really dont want to ellaborate on this. As typing it all out would take an extensive amount of time.

It depends which we're talking about.

Some are real people. And some are just programs auto-posting.

I think a long time ago, I got a reply from one of the real people spammers being banned...it was another advertisement, if I recall correctly...

Just to point this out, in case people on this board haven't figured this out yet.

A large majority of my posts are not serious. I try to lighten things up most of the time and post funny stuff or funny responses. Sarcasm and innuendo sometimes doesn't come through the keyboard as I meant it. A lot of times it does.

This is true of a lot of people who post here, as well. Many of the Auto vs. Manual "arguments"...especially between PQ and myself...are totally in fun. I think we've filled up pages of shots at each other, for fun.

Someone asked about PQ earlier? I even have memes set up for him...
