| 84815 | 2002-09-30 12:40:00 | Oh by the way, if anybody in the group that does not have a job would like to start a NZ CAUCE, I am sure I could find $5 to drop in the post for you, That's because I am a cheap joker, and if things took out maybe another $5, and then ..... | E.ric (351) | ||

| 84817 | 2002-10-01 00:06:00 | OK a silly idea come to think of it, who on earth would wont to stop spam mail?, | E.ric (351) | ||
| 84818 | 2002-10-01 02:55:00 | well i'd love to see spam reduced...... I think "stopped" is unrealistic as there is another spamming (no desciption available in accordence with bruces ground rules) thingy born every minute. Anything to stem the flow, or create disincentives seems a fine idea to me. Chris. |

| 84819 | 2002-10-01 10:35:00 | I think I may have the solution to the spam plague but I need to check out some facts first. Can someone confirm that spammers are paid to spread a message/link in the hope that at least someone will visit the site and use the services? The spammers are then rewarded by the website owners each time someone uses the link they have provided. Is that correct, or am I off the mark. | Craigb (688) | ||

| 84821 | 2002-10-03 04:16:00 | Well it goes a bit like this.. What would happen if, on a given day/s, everyone who was spammed actually replied to it? I can hear the cries of "Who is this fool" from where I sit already, but this is war so read on. I predict 2 things would happen 1) The Spam users sites would overload denying access to their regulars/people who might actually use their services = loss of revenue, 2) The spammers would expect payment because you used their link to get to the site. If everyone went there but didn’t use the websites services, the website would be paying for something no one was using = loss of revenue. If this went on long enough, we would eventually bankrupt the websites that use spammers. There would then be no one left (or very few) to encourage people to spam or at least, discourage web sites from using them. How's that for a dammed silly idea, or as usual, has some one else thought of it before I did. |

| 84822 | 2002-10-03 06:14:00 | Your logic is seriously flawed. Human nature being what it is, some of the "malicious voyeurs" would do more than just pay a nuisance visit to the site, they would BUY! Even a minute percentage of these people would make it lucrative, the spammers would get rewarded, create more jobs, more spam.... |

| 84823 | 2002-10-03 07:23:00 | A further serious flaw in the logic is that you would never get EVERYONE to visit. So those that do would merely open themselves to more spam. | Heather P (163) | ||
