Hey, go sell your stupid watch somewhere else.
i am tired of the message boards clogged with these stupid ads.
Nobody here cares about your cheap rolex watches or porn or anything
else.
This is python, and that is all we care about.
If we want those things we *know* how to find them.
good day!

I'm pretty sure all of the spam is automated, so your message won't get
through to anyone.

It feels good to let our frustration out

But it's difficult to find that pre-teen porn.

So they say.

Right. I apologize that so much spam seems to be leaking through still. I
am working on the problem. I'm pretty sure at this point that I am seeing
all the spam (even those messages which gmail thoughtfully traps for me) and
have modified things slightly so that I can dig into the reasons why some
spams are missed and some pretty obvious hams are held.

So, best approach now when you see a spam message is: try to rein in your
sarcastic wit and just hit the 'd' key.

In fact my system successfully filtered out the original spam so that

I am sure that we all appreciate your efforts. That doesn't mean that
we should depend on you to block 100% of the spam. We need to take
some responsibility on our own systems too.

Well, yes, that was my point. I had managed to filter out the spam but
then had to deal with someone responding here to a spam that I never
saw. The sarcasm was directed at the person who replied to the spam
rather than hitting the 'd' key.

This conversation sounds like we are in "violent agreement."
