That ain't gonna happen! It's the cheapest way to get a few thousand exposures and the spamming companies pay people to log in and spam - remember, they actually have to send a reply to become a member. Karl & I remove them as fast as possible. Don't EVER click on the links - you have no idea what might happen.

How do we know spam from member's posts. I haven't noticed anything that stands out as spam.

We probably got the latest ones off before you had a chance to see them. They were pretty obvious.

They show up in the For Sale section, too.

Speaking of spam & phishing, I have recently been getting requests from various websites, including this one, to open the file f.txt from https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net. I have seen this in the past, and suspect that googleads has once again been infected with malware.

While I never allow my operating system to hide extensions, and it should be safe to open the file in notepad, I have been canceling the request.

Not this one. If you get this kind of email from woodwind.org I'd like to know. There's no way to stop spamming in my name since email headers are easily forged, but there's also always a possibility of pages getting hacked and infected.
