one never knows what spammers will do... look at that brian fellow who spammed
several echos from several boards the other week... something about him being
censored on the 'net and trying to post a link to some kind of supposed video
about racism, the kkk, and other similar mess... it appeared more like social
engineering to me where they try to get you to download a supposed updated
flash or other video driver that is actually a trojan or other infester...

BTW: my post was a joke ;)
