[ot] Spam in this NG

[Sweet Andy Licious]

This has got to be the best ng in regard to not answering (even in a snarky
way) spam messages that generally haunt all ng's. Very few people answer
them which follows the DNFTT theory of ignoring them and they will go away.
Well we know spam won't go away, nor will the trolls, but this ng seems to
do a good job of ignoring them. I admit I am sometimes tempted and have in
the past answered spam, especially as a newbie.

Just wanted to say, is all.

Somewhere on usenet there must be *one* American that can understand a
British sense of humour?

Two would be nice, but just one would be a bonus after this evening...

I understood it. It was pretty funny actually.

I think they used up all of their humour when they elected George W. Bush.

Well, I did but "understanding" isn't the same as regarding it
actually as being _funny_, now, is it? I think you're likely to have a
more difficult time of finding an "American" (you _do_ really mean,
"U.S.A." right?) who _cares_ about "British" (you _do_ really mean,
"English", don't you?) so-called "humour".
