Why are you reposting the spammers message? Snip it out.

It's Rocket Science to the unlearned...

I've actually seen some of these that had up to 30 replies in the
spam's thread all bashing the spammer and every single one of them
QUOTED THE ENTIRE FRIGGING SPAM! The spammer must have been laughing
all the way to the bank for having all these "anti-spammers" helping
him get his spam re-posted so many times.

It just seems that there are a lot out there that have no clue
what-so-ever on how to do as simple a thing as editing (snipping)
their replies. You know, the basic run-of-the-mill usage of such keys
as the destructive back space key, the Delete key and the big
enchilada of them all..... highlighting and deleting of entire blocks
of text unrelated to the specific scope of the reply.

I love those that look like a family tree where you got escalating
numbers of the quote symbol ">".... such as:

Quote of F, E, D, C, B and A
Quote of E, D, C, B and A
Quote of D, C, B and A
Quote of C, B and A
Quote of B and A
Quote of A

and so on and so on and so on and then finally ending up at the bottom
or top of the whole tree by saying something so intelligent as "I
agree"

Notice that A got quoted 6 times, B got quoted 5 times, C got quoted 4
times, D got quoted 3 times and E got quoted 2 times in a single
reply. Do you think they (those void of the knowledge on how to edit
replies) think that maybe by quoting A six times in their reply may
give A more credibility that , lets say... quoting A only five times?
The real funny thing is the way they take issue with this being
pointed out.
