Basically, he's asking if you consider spambots worse than people who post spam. Which is a silly question, because a spambot doesn't appear spontaneously out of nowhere -- obviously someone has to decide to write one, and someone has to decide to use it.

Oh. Ok. Yeah, I didn't want to roll my eyes until I, ya know, actually knew what the hell he was asking. So, with that:

wow.

It was an honest question.[/quote]
Great. I still don't know what in the blue hell you're asking.

Thank God I've installed Zink 2.0, which will let me translate and foreign language or crap I don't undertstand.

I get a lot of Asian porn spam though. That's a tradeoff for Zink being freeware.

Obviously you need the Zink 3.0 upgrade:

Not only won't you make those errors, you'll get much more diverse porn spam. ;-)

Spam or not, Too Many Questions *is* a fun trivia game-- certainly the best of the five available on worldofpop, and actually a fresh spin on trivia that I haven't seen before. Recommended, despite the spammer.

Glad you like it. My experience on the site has been filled with technical bugs and discovering that many of the trivia answers are incorrect. (Don't get me started on the typos.) It's told me for three days running that I can't play a game because I'm "already logged into another window." There is no visible tech help contact on the site to find out how to correct this; logging out and even re-starting the computer does no good. I'm not going back.

So far, my experience is that the Too Many Questions database seems to be ok. But you're right, a lot of the rest of the games are completely broken crappe.

I was playing Camouflage at the GSN site yesterday and the clue "It turns a room mushy" worked out to be "shiitake", which they spelled with a single "I". I lol'd.
