Wofai, Chinagorom, Apebo,
I also started to answer but I'm puzzled by the batch of short questions
originating from new subscribers with a Gmail address.
It looks like spamming:
searching for messages in the archives,
posting something inspired by that to appear legitimate, then posting a link to
a commercial or fishing URL.
Yes, but since there is no url redirection in the messages, i would
rather wonder about some people in the same academic class, with some
questions feeding an exam session...
And we, feeding their answer.
;-)
Anyway, i personnaly do not see a reason to take 20 s to answer to some
subscribers that did not take 5 s to put a subject and that evidently
did not spend 15 more seconds to look around the official website and
all redirections, noticeably to the online documentation.
I guess that it might also be an exam about how to create a robot
creating an account and spamming a test target.
The last question was about how to make the robot unsubscribing. And one
have failed.
;-)
Now, i am aware that this is just an how-to take 5 mn to wonder and
comment about not taking 20 s to answer to some improbable spam..
Best,
Samuel
PS: IMHO, the best way to deter such practice is to shortly and
massively answer /in private/ to such mails.
