It's all over the blogosphere and Bill Gates has been quoted as
saying he believes it "will be the next big thing to hit the
internet", so
what is Agloco and will they really pay you for surfing the net?

I too was sceptical when I heard about it but after spending a few
hours googling and reading about it, I have not only come round to the
idea but am now thinking it could really work and could really make
us (that's me and all of you who are reading this) some money.

regards,

Ketan Arora

4 things.
a) I think not, but..
b) I don't care either way.
c) You are a multi-posting spammer
d) P*ss off.

Andrew,

I've got to commend you in your relentless fight against spammers in
this newsgroup. :)

Too bad the multi-posting spammers
a) don't read the responses, and
b) don't p*ss off.

But it sure is fun to excoriate them in absentia.

I would too, except for the facts that:

1.  99.5 percent of the spammers never read replies to their postings, so
these responses are wasted.

2.  Andrew's replies expose those of us who have effective killfiles to parts
of the spam that our killfiles had eliminated (unless we want to also
killfile Andrew, which I don't!).

As odd as this may seem.  My comments are not
actually meant for the spammer themselves.

Good point, and something I have been meaning
to check.  If I were to put an unique key phrase
in the second post to each spam, does your news reader
offer the ability to filter the *entire* *thread*
based on that?

Does the expression "P*ss off" not already suffice for that purpose ?

;-) I use that expression 'regularly' on
such posts, but (so far) not every time.
I am also a bit worried about the exact
string, as I would not want to cause others
to 'pAss off' any thread without good cause,
and I think the inclusion of the 'wildcard'
character might cause problems there.

To be more specific, I would want any
filter to be a longish and very unusual
acronym (maybe?) consisting entirely of
letters.

This character obviously did not read this:

That notwithstanding, the setup looks a little suspect to me.
