OK, so you have no idea what spam is?

Try google it can be your friend! 😉

I didn't think the three of you were worse than anyone else.

Then I don't understand why ask what spam is to begin with, if you already know?

Or did you just google and find out?

No, I didn't ask what spam was - I asked you what you meant by saying that the three of you were especially familiar with spam.

"You and I and goad would all know about spam!!! 😉 😛 "

Who would be the 3 in your opinion who post the most in the GF?

I am of course most guilty with Andy and goad running a close second in my humble opinion.

If we post a lot, is it automatically spam?

We post and repost which is close enough to spam in my humble opinion.

Usually refers to multiple e-mail messages, but could also be used for posting and reposting repeatedly, but then isn't that what the forums are for?

I understood it as unwelcome, unwanted posting or mailing, not just frequent posting. I learn every day.

Do you think that all our posts are wanted? Especially mine, which I would say are very unwelcomed by a small group here, which will not in any way deter me from posting.

If I knew that my posts were not appreciated or even wanted, I would never post.

Yes, generally I do and that also includes places like this forum. If many of you would dislike my participation here, I would keep quiet.

No, you were correct in your original understanding.

The correct term would be troll!!! 😛 😉 You've heard that one a number of times haven't you goad? 😉

A troll (noun) was originally a mythical ugly creature, now it usually means an intentionally disruptive person on the internet. ... That's how baiting people on the internet came to be known as trolling, not because the people doing the trolling are considered to be ugly people, or such.

Both Andy and goad bait people all the time....I am as guilty as both of them, but then I admit it where they don't! 😉


Why do you concern yourself about what a small group of people think?

It may be a small group but I can't see why they should not matter, if they are the ones active in this forum. I usually interact with people around me and if that doesn't work, I try to respect their views.
