Re: Our first Spammer.
Okay here's the simple explanation since you've confirmed that yes, it did go right over your head:
This thread is about spammers. If you read through, you'll see a few different types of spam addressed.
One type of spam on the internet is -
necro'ing old threads with spam posts.
Another type is -
responding to necro'ed threads by human spam-bots who post single-line posts through a translator, such as:
Very interesting thread, much thank for you in contribute!
And so - Ghostcat and I complied and pretended to be those one-post bot-members who use babelfish to translate our foreign spam lines that exist on occasion to imbed a secret link in one of the words, such that if you were to click on it, it'd link you to a spam site.
It was funny to those of us who understand how these things work, and participated in perpetuating the joke.
You didn't get the joke.
