So why do you defend the spammer? There was nothing on that site that one could defend as Linux or blinux related. Besides, DOS scripting is a total nonsense. If the email author mentioned GNU utils (bash for example) ported to windows etc. that would make some sense but he did not. The URL was just a free plug for a website as far as I can see. > so if someone sends you spam deal with it in a polite manner. > write a procmail recipe to bounce it back to em 100 times. bwhahaha. > We dealt with them in a polite manner for too long. It's time somebody chops their ass off. That's why we have so much crap in our daily lives, it's this "let's just go along" instead of old tradition "I have a gun [Linux], you have a gun, let's be polite mister", i.e. you spam [steal computer resources], we throw you in jail for 3 years. > -- > Shaun > > If little else, the brain is an educational toy. > -- Tom Robbins > EMAIL: shauno@goanna.net.au > ICQ: 76958435 > I won't waste my time on further discussions on this matter. -- Rafael
