I think I was caught in the heat of the moment. The message was composed at
a sensitive time. Recently I have been hit by so much comment spam (I need
to poll several times an hour in two sites) that I have become very
irritable when it comes to illicit practices and SE boosting.
The spammers appear to have found some new clients now, including a drug
company in an exotic location and some diamond trader. One of the notorious
spammers is in London. It kills me that they even interviewed the man
rather than kill him. These spammers are raiding the Net and attack in
cycles using proxies.

As John sain in reply to your message, it does not appear to be just me.
Perhaps I am less reluctant than most to say what I think. Tthe atmosphere
in this group would be improved had there not been a showcase that is based
on illegal manipulation of the very same thing this NG discusses: search
engines.

You have the right to do so. It's UseNet.
