Therein lies the knotty problem. Moderated anything tends to attract
moderators who like to play censor. IMO, the post in question was
relevant. It certainly generated less bandwidth that the kvetching that
followed. Genuine spam would have been for something like: make
$50,000 per week at home, proffering pictures of unclad teenage
cheerleaders, spam-bot software, or "bible" tracts for yet another whacko
religious cult. I received one spam advertisment that was titled "Spam".
.not bad, not bad. . So if the 'cheerleaders' were without their
cheerleader costumes, how would one know if they were cheerleaders,
ballet dancers, Walmart cashiers, kindergarten teachers, or just
plain-vanilla nudists?
