I really hope I'm misunderstanding.

You're saying spammers benefit CL by dramatically reducing the average quality of postings down to almost nothing and that the illegitimate page "views" of bots make up for loss of legitimate page views by actual users that are lost by aforementionned loss of quality and that Craig actually loves it?

You're out of your mind.

By the way I'm interested in knowing that secret to "rid spam completely" that Craig sits on.

edit: Really interesting to see the kind of lame excuses people can come up with. I guess when you're dishonest with everyone then you're also dishonest with yourself. Or is it the other way around?



Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't read all the posts to the end.

Well, that timely illustrates one of the many problems stemming from the lack of blockquote! I thought you were writing in italics just for kicks.
