[LINK] Solution to SPAM checking

In my case it wasn't. About ten years ago, I was where Craig is - you
made me foam at the mouth in impotent anger that anyone could be so
consistently, abysmally, annoyingly, desperately stupid. I even filtered
you at one point (you and Vic are the only two ever so honoured).

In the years that followed I've mellowed, and now realise that although
you are still consistently, abysmally, annoyingly and desperately
stupid, you are also harmless and unable to help yourself.

It's fun to see how long it takes you, when presented with any new idea
or significant advance, to claim that you yourself were doing it,
thought of it or invented it first. That you have not claimed fire and
the wheel for yourself is, am sure, only an oversight. I'm sure I'm not
the only Linker that gets a quiet chuckle from those, so thank you for
lightening the place up a bit.

The legislature and the mental health system appear to have decided you
are no danger to yourself or others, so who am I to argue? The world
needs harmless loonies. If you keep at it, you may finally drive Craig
over the edge and we'll have another one!

PS: But Craig is right on one point - you do need to keep your private
life off Link, it's incomprehensible and boring. Now if you could
confess to some harmless and amusing fetish, as another prominent Linker
did a while back to our general startlement, that would be entirely
acceptable.
