    Maybe someone could educate me for a minute, when people post these huge blocks of text (spam) it just reads as mumbo jumbo to me, i can never see a link to click on or anything like that??? it must be written by some sort of machine i'm thinking because a human would surely put a link up to click on? So its pretty pointless putting it up, so is it just computer generated then? Say by some miracle i wanted to buy *&^thegreatesthandbagsintheworldever=*&* i fail to see how you would go about purchasing one?



    More spam gets posted here than poker, games, fruitmachines etc put together.

    You are right. There is far too much spamming going on, but I notice that there are slightly less "human spammers". There are however lots of automatic SPAMBOTS at work. I am no expert, but what these bots seem to do is seek out busy forums such as this one then join automatically and instantly start to spew out spam. You will see that this is not the first time more or less exactly the same post has been made but by a different member. It has been dealt with.
    What this forum needs is more members (like yourself) who are prepared to actually make posts.
    PS. How are your dogs?
