Re: [IRCA] KNBR silent period

["Mike Hawkins" <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yep.  Even if I had went to bed, the silent sound of a spammer coming to the
forum that I moderate calls to me.  I get up, add their web sites to a
blocklist that is used by several hundred thousand people, ban them and go
back to bed.  Always check email though just in case a WheresGeorge bill
gets logged in somewhere.
