I kind of feel sorry for the guys that are actually posting the spam. They no doubt live in third-world or com-bloc hell-holes where there is nothing resembling an honest job. They get paid a pittance to post garbage on every newsgroup they can find. The really bright ones start a fake news site and get actual advertisers. Most are just stuck spamming for pennies. They obviously don't know anything about this site because they keep trying to posting html, which doesn't work here, and their rest of their post is incomprehensible gobbledygook. I find it easy enough to overlook, and Joe does a good job of clearing it out, without resorting to locking down the site to nobody but registered members. But I also see it as a window into the lives of people who were merely unlucky enough to be born in a lousy and hopeless part of the world.
