Re: What to do (or not to do) about SPAM (was: Re: 2014 Collection Of Solution Manuals & Test Banks. More Than 15,000 Titles)

Peter:

All you are saying about spammers is true. But it is only half the story. The other half includes people trying to respond positively to the spam, and other spammers.

While it is true most responders are clueless and it will make no difference, and most spammers are just spamming the globe, there is still a substantial fraction of both who actually learn something from the response. So just as it takes only a fractional percentage of response for spammers to justify spamming, it only takes a similar response for us to justify for respondents. And I can tell you, I've had personal correspondence thanking for the guidance.

I'm glad your ISP has good anti-spam. Maybe you can make it better by convincing your ISP to block the responses to detected spam. Google surely does it wrong, but they don't seem to care, they are in it for the money, after all.

So feel free to complain about our efforts, and we'll feel free to ignore you if we think you are wrong.
