Wow, that's a lot! If all these spammers would be drafted into a civilian service corps like back in the Great Depression (okay, I wasn't there, just commenting), they could probably build a dam, or a city, or a continent, or be sent to major universities and do research on how to end world hunger, major disease and probably they could do more things, too, rather than come on DT and bother us! Huzzah!

Jo where are you keeping your magic ball that shows you this info?

**lulu57** · 03-17-12, 11:00 AM

Beth: Look way down at bottom of forum page it is right there

**JoThrive** · 03-17-12, 12:48 PM

Lulu, you spoiled it for me. I was going to tell everyone that the anti-spam fairies send me special messages that no one else can see.

Actually all I have been doing is posting a tally here every so often in order to call it to every one's attention. The anti-spam program that John installed saves us all a lot of trouble.

Huzzah!!! Thanks for the update, JoJo!!!

Personally, Tess2 dislikes spammers and hackers and all such folk (or robots). Seems like they could find something better to do with their lives!
