>How are spamvertizing websites whose links appear in spam "innocent"?
>top posting and not trimming your replies is bad etiquette >Len Say you are hosting multiple sites and faithfully monitor your servers to make sure your clients are not sending spam, and they know it. So they unknown to you go hire a third party to spam on their behalf and your services are maliciously attacked with you not knowing anything or being able to do anything about it. You have no control on what your clients may have going on elsewhere. Personally if I ever get a complaint with proof about any of our clients hiring a spam company to spam for a site we host, I would send them packing in a heartbeat. We already have sent booted 3 clients for this between 1998 and 2002. Nobody needs to attack our servers with the spamvertizer's web site on them only because he did something stupid without our knowledge! The real problem here are the ISP and broadband companies that allow people to send bulk emails and spam via there services. It's not always the people that host the spammers website. Whenever you attack the spamvertiizer you're also attacking his web hosting provider and everyone else they host, and that is mob mentality IMHO. If you want to attack something in retaliation (which I fully understand) why not go for the ISP's that are sending the garbage and if the website is within the same ISP companies IP range, by all means have at it and get them to! But don't be like the gangsta punks that don't care who they hit in a drive by as long as they shoot their gansta rival in the process. Think about it! As far as posting at the top is concerned, that is a matter of preference and opinion. Personally I don't like having to pick through everything trying to read a person's response, but I don't complain about it I either do it or just ignore the post if it's too much scrolling and trouble. I suppose I could trim some content whenever I reply but I see that many people leave the old content and replay in the middle of it addressing each point separately. So to each their own, but that is not the way I do it. Secondly not everyone has they email setup to mark what is being replied to by the > marks. I have to put them in manually because I choose not to setup my email that way for other reasons.
