Okay, here I have to say that my membership to this and several other

groups is set at no email. Reason being, my inbox would soon

overflow. I hate reading digests and it's easier with most of them to

read from the site.

Other than that, I agree completely. The discussion about signature

lines has come up more than once on a lot of different groups and

most have agreed that it's not spam. If someone doesn't want to read

past your name, then it's pretty simple to ignore the signature line.

I have a signature line for my writing groups but I don't use it here

because it's not autism related in the slightest.

When you figure it out, let me know will you? I've been offline today

because I needed a mental break from a very ugly situation on a

writers' group involving unfounded and unsubstantiated plagiarism

accusations. It's ugly, it's sordid, and I'm sick of all the back

stabbing.

I wish there was a magic wand I could wave to make people grow up and

act like decent human beings.

We were discussing the spam issue today. Seems that it is quite common for

people to join a group, put it on no mail, and don't post except for spam. We

have actually had a lot of that on that particular group.

I belong to a messageboard- and it gets it's share of spammers.

Luckily we've got about 8 moderators, so one of us gets to it, and

deltes their spam and leaves OUR OWN message in it's place

They don't come back either.

Several of my writers groups have had a lot of porn spam lately.

They've all gone to moderated status for new members and until the

new member sends a few legitimate emails through, they're not taken

off moderation. One man I WISH they would moderate insists on sending

pornographic poems through. Argh! Really, really bad pornographic

poems. Someone needs to take his keyboard away. I don't know what's

more shocking, the lousy writing or the subject matter!
