His message was invalid by the middle of the second paragraph. The poster seems to conclude it's the fault of the people who voted AND the fault of those who did not vote. You either voted the mess in, or didn't vote and let the mess in. Sorry, but that's pretty weak. What is the GPs suggested correct course of action then?

It seems like the suggestion is total uprising of the entire nation, bar none based on his blame of anyone in the country. We all know that is not even statistically feasible; people never agree on action to that degree. People protest the current state by the thousands every day and get little real attention and change almost nothing. Is the GP really saying the only correct course of action is to not vote and spend every day protesting or using violent revolt?

Sounds like someone blaming everyone bu themselves to me.

Not the every larger database!

RTS stands for "Real Time Strategy"...

how exactly would it be "real time" if you could pause?

Part of the challenge is learning to multi task effectively.

Yea, the funny thing about this particular first person interaction with a live spammer is I also know the guy too. Richard Cobert was trying to set my company up with a marketing campaign, buy some of the customer database software we sell, and I had to deal with him. I still have his purchase info for what he did buy. :-)

This guy is a total sleaze. I felt slimy just talking to the guy. It's spammers like this guy that cause all the problems. I mean, he has no qualms about how he makes a buck. He even tried to get chummy with me in order to land the deal. He told the most whacked stories about his "old" golf career as a potential pro and how he knew Bill Gates (another reason he's a moron) and could have been rich with him. If he really did know Gates, I can see where he gets his "do anything to make $$$" mentality from. A little later, we found out he was working for Keith Taubb and America Int., another shady list dealer.

He was just to slimy and we decided he was probably lying that his campaign was totally "opt-in." I cut him loose as soon as possible, and it was so funny to hear about him the next year as one of the biggest spammers on our little rock. This was over 2 years ago now, but even now thinking about talking to him makes me shiver. For once, I understand why tigers eat their young...
