As much as I understand the irritation all spam can cause, I thought we could talk about it in a calm manner?

We do our best to remove any spam thread as soon as possible. It can sometimes take a day or two, but not more. It only means that we are busy or not around.

But please, never click these links as they can contain malicious applets, viruses and whatnot. Also, if you answer spams for fun, via email, be sure your email address will be spammed 100 times more. Answering to a spam thead on the froum does not hurt, but it is a bit like 'pisser dan un violon' (bad french slang expression, go figure), meaning that it does nothign as:

1. bots don't read forum, and there are no dudes or dudettes behind these spams, only bots.
2. the thread will be removed soon.

But if it makes you happy.. Only thing to consider, is that it helps keeping the spam thread on the top of the list. Thus annoying spam reluctant users.

I guess I never thought about spam bots. Anyway it's a minor thing at the moment, and will hopefully stay that way. I will just learn to ignore it in the future I guess.

seriously amaury I have to ask, are you guys just plain naturally wise or do you sit and think long and hard before you post the perfect reply?

I dunno.....I used to get pissed about it (in all areas, including my bulk mails....) but again, it's kinda funny, the comments people add and such...

My biggest question is......how many people fall for it?

Do you have to grow a long grey beard when you work at Ableton? Then, whenst typing forum replies, doth thou stroke said beard?

I sure would.

Don't mistake "pissing down a violin" for wisdom

I'm saying that to everyone I see tomorrow at work!

"Hey Tim whacha doin?"

"Well, I sure as hell ain't pissing down a violin!"
