Me and my buddy made a website called www.CleaningTips.com, its
basically a free forum and  free blog driven web site dedicated as a
source people can goto to find out how to clean and remove stains from
pretty much anything. Problem is, as of yet, you couldn't find out how
to clean anything right now cause the site is new and no one has found
it yet.

We don't know enough about cleaning and tips and tricks to really fill
the site. Were looking to get more useful content so that the website
eventually shows up in search results.

If anyone here is interested, visit www.CleaningTips.com/forum.html,
and if there is anything you could add to the site please feel free to
do so. Email me at ············@gmail.com if you find anything that
could improve the site or if something doesn't seem to be working
properly.

Let's see if I get this right.

You create a website for a subject that you know nothing about. Then you
try to solicit content in a bunch of programming language newsgroups.

Wow, that's pretty pathetic, even for a google-groups poster!

Begone with you.

Maybe they lost the business plan. It's not surprising, since it
was probably written on a napkin.

Pathetic, but it's a prooven way to become millionaire with the
Internet. You can't blame him... http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

You know, my ISP did a pretty good job of recognizing the original post as
spam, and dropped it, so I never even saw it until your post came along.
So I wonder, who is more pathetic -- the spammer, who at least is hoping
to make money from his rudeness, or idiots who try to reason with spammers
AND include the spam in their reply?

Thanks a lot Colin, I really appreciate you finding a way to bypass the
spam filtering. Not.

(You know, if I were a spammer, I would disguise my spam as an indignant
response to spam, thus guaranteeing a vastly greater audience.)

Colin, if that doesn't convince you to STOP ENGAGING SPAMMERS IN
DISCUSSION, no matter how witty you think your reply is, let me
point out that by rudely including the text of the spam in your
post, you are associating your name and email address with spam. That
might not be such a good thing to do as more and more people use Bayesian
filtering.
