When spammers appear, please do NOT:
1) respond to the post
2) quote the post
3) report the post
4) mention anything about the post

All of those make it much more difficult to remove the post, and you are in danger of being banned along with the spammer (it almost happened to you, Ozzy).

On item 3 -- I read the General, Baseball and Basketball threads as often as I read my email. So, reporting the post, which sends me an email, just means it takes me longer to get here to deal with it. Now, if I miss a post and it's there for more than a day, then go ahead and report it. Or, if there's a post in another forum (e.g., softball or football), go ahead an report it. (But, don't report anything in the testing forum -- I jsut delete all that as a matter of course.)
