Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing a huge threat. We are fighting with everything we have to try to drive the enemy back and eventually defeat them. What can we do to stop them you ask, we may not be able to stop them completely but it is our duty to waste as much of their time as possible.

In the above paragraph I have been quite brilliantly misleading you into thinking that this article is about the US and Canadian forces attacking London. In fact my deception was so brilliant that many of you have completely forgotten that this article is actually about Spammers…anyway…

Today’s article is simply a conversation I had with a Spammer last night on the irc. I made it my objective to waste as much of his time as I could manage while he got nowhere trying to get me to download a cheat bar. I have removed his name so that people don’t try to download the cheat bar and just to let people know all the spelling mistakes were mistakes he made in typing the messages…I can spell (most of the time). I hope you enjoy the conversation:

{Spammer leaves conversation in disgust}

Hope you have enjoyed that little conversation and are now feeling ready to defeat the fearsome enemy that is the Spammer. I kept that one talking for 40 minutes and I think that was a fair effore. If anyone else gets to have a similar conversation with a Spammer please message me the conversation so I can add it to the newspaper. Until next time,

Stay safe and play hard,
