Whitefeather,

GOTO top

Miche is a spambot, not a person. We continue the conversation because we are; not because miche is

hi,
how do you know?
what do you mean 'go to top'?
obviously all this spambot salsa is not my forte.

Hi Whitefeather,

My apologies if I may have confused you and for any resulting hair loss. GOTO top is a reference to the use of the term "GOTO" used in writing code, and in reference an earlier post in this thread. It was an attempt at humour, but obviously failed in this case.

How to Spot a Bot
Generic name > Broken english generic post. > Nonsensical signature > Check profile > Location generic but non distinct > Time zone does not match location > Only posts a few times in succession and then not again.
What the Bot had Hoped To Accomplish
The signature would have contained an advertising link, but Steve has foiled them at present by dis-allowing url's in signatures.

I hope that helps
