We didn't see the spam until you repeated it. For whatever reason the original message was caught by our filters. You helped the spammer break through.

For me, the original post ended in my spam box, which means my filter is doing it's job, but when you re-post it, my filter did not regard it as spam. I actually wish it had. Therefore you are an enabler. > If php, red hat, and perl can manage it for their lists, why not > python?

Usenet is distributed and therefore there is no central place to filter spam (each usenet host would have to have its own filter and what one considers spam another might consider ham)... anyway, that's neither here nor there. Having my own filter usually works. I'm not here to dis you, just to try to help you understand the how/why regarding the re-post and why your attitude about it might give the impression of apathy toward your peer community.

Nevertheless, the quality of the attempt is not really > the issue here. The would-be humorist did not need to quote the spam. Well, exactly. I don't think that anyone made any comment about the quality of the joke when talking about the first posting. The only thing that people said was that he shouldn't have repeated the spam. Everyone, including the original poster, who defended the post did so on the grounds that it was funny. That's certainly debatable but no one was telling him not to post until he gets funnier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man Whether the post was funny or not is a judgment call. No one is saying not to post unfunny jokes because no one is the arbiter of what's funny. If you want to argue with the complainers, argue with their actual complaint. Tell us why it is OK to repeat spam with all the spammy URLS intact By the way, my joke above is hilarious. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Only Google truly knows how its algorithm works, but the general consensus is that the more times Google sees a link repeated, the more credibility the link is given. By reposting links, you help the spammer.
