Ah another public plonking. That works so well to demonstrate the tolerance level of the plonker.

I presume you'll be making the same criticism of 'GarageWoodworks', who also publicly plonked Twerp at the same time for the same reason...
Your sig is malformed. It should be preceded by two hyphens, a blank, and a newline so that conforming newsreaders automatically recognize it as a sig and do not quote it on followup.

What ever you think and works for you. We really do not need your help, you are not showing us any thing that we do not already know. For most of us, spammers are usually a short term and or one time nuisance. Then there is the troll that is far worse, like a disruptive kindergartner that society eventually shuns. You seem to be filling that position.
May I suggest that you either contribute or do us all a favor and go away. I will give you the benefit of the doubt a little bit longer and then for me you will disappear if you are of no value to the group.
If you are indeed sincere, use a new post and apologize to the group and try to fit in.

Pretty much of anyone who is afraid to read something they don't agree with, and feels the need to demonstrate the histrionics of the public plonk. It's the NG equiv of taking your toys and going home.
Plonk me and you won't be bothered any longer?

It's not a matter of being "afraid", it's a matter of deciding not to associated with a particular individual.
If you're going to be confrontational about a suggestion that you bring your sig into compliance with accepted practice then it's not lookin' too good.

Yes, it is. TrollFilters have been updated accordingly, and can be obtained by the usual means (see sig below).

Just the k Once in a while, public plonking is well-deserved; it serves as a notice to the plonkee that maybe he/she/it is not playing well with others and may someday come to the realization that there are better ways to communicate. Kind of the Usenet equivalent of shaking the dust from one's sandals and moving on.

One thing it has shown is the number of people who read spams. It's high in this group. That's a bad sign. There is absolutely nothing in any spam that bears reading unless the reader is planning to use information it may contain based on the source code of the spam. Only suckers and desparate people read spam seriously and they are the ones who provide the spammer wtih his paycheck. Just reading spam for the sake of reading it is just plain stupid. But it seems to be done very often in this group.
If you think "plonk" is a threat, you're as wrong as you are stupid for using it. I could not care less whether you read my posts of not - you are irrelevant. If you're not smart enough to look at a post and decide it's not worth reading for you, then you probably also read spams regularly. You will be one of the reasons servers decide to drop the group because of the excess traffic spams and readers such as yourself create by reading them.
No, I won't use a new post as my current first two posts were on target and meaningful. Since then I have entertained myself by simply responding in kind to those who bothered to read spam and were upset to see someone has the guts to do something about it. You're the kind who will sit around and wait for things like the Can-Spam Act to fix everything for you; 'snot gonna happen. Had you not read the spams, you would have had no hint of anything that was in the thread. But you did click, didn't you? That was not only senseless to do, but stupid also.
It's been in interesting social sciences demo here watching the opinions of those who read spam and the silence from those who know better and at least don't admit it, or actually never bothered to click on anything that looks like spam.
I probably should apologize for "using" the group as I did/am, but from the lack of displayed intelligence I see, it's not worth the effort and would be on no value. Not being a follower, I will post anywhere I please and here at least the knowledge that some of the group of spammers and mongers won't be assessing respnses with the stupid misinformation they've presented over the last about 5 months here. Newsgroups get a reputation for accepting spam without consequence, and this group now has that reputation. It's precisely why I chose this group to post some of my reports in.

You sure as hell aren't providing anything but sturm und drang. You might announce who you REALLY are, if you're such an all-fired expert...and then show some proof of your expertise, something Tom Watson has done time and again for years. So far, from you, all we've read is drivel.

Google doesn't ahve a plonker, but being afraid to read somethign I disagree with has never been one of my faults. I love a good disagreement. But there is an old New York saying, "Money talks, bullshit walks." Neither you nor your pal are saying anything, and you're both hoofing it.

Just as you do personally, you don't really know if people in this group are reading the spam or clicking on as you are doing.
Plonk is not a threat by any means. Simply a warning that if you ever want to get an answer to a question that you may post, you need to be seen.
The rest of what you have to say is a load.
So I take it that Spam is a large source of your entertainment. With out Spam you would have little to say or do.
Please spare us all and post your "reports" else where.

I'd hope the "plonk" would act as a reminder to stop feeding the trolls so that those that have kill-filed the twerps do have to see their quoted message in replies from valued users of the group.

And the plonk-ER just HAS to make a big, histrionic, public display about who they personally think is "not worthy". Obviously seeking the approval of others. Obviously not enough of a man to stand on his own two feet and simply plonk the guy. He wants everybody to know that he's not afraid to be afraid.
Hilarious.

It may serve as notice that ONE particular reader is threatened by the plonkee. But the plonk-er hardly speaks for the hundreds or thousands of other readers. They're simply trying to make their dick just a mm longer.
