Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Spam

I think your idea is a bit animal. (Note, as I am not english, and englis=
h is
not my first language, perhaps I use words that are more rude than I beli=
eve
them to be, I don't want be rude at all)
Then what? Shall we have separately lists for each language? One for thre=
e
polish, one for 50 french, other for 20 english and other for one nigeria=
n?
"Hey, me, I wonder if I can help me with this question or agree this comm=
ent"

We shouldn't react annoying all polish people because there appeared a po=
lish
who annoyed us with an accidentally bad use of auto reply or with an inte=
nded
attack to the list. And begin bothering all that doesn't bother himself
translating an automatic text of reply, a text which does not tell anythi=
ng to
anybody, and everybody shall (perhaps may is better word than shall, I wa=
nt a
soft word with that meaning) know, if not because they know polish, simpl=
y by
common sense. Well, I know his header seems too large, so it's not so eas=
y
think that there are so big chances to be so.

I don't know a single word of polish, but I'm sure that there are a 99% o=
f
chances that the polish fraction of text says something like "This is an
autoreply to the message generated automatically by the receiver mail pro=
gram,
your message has been received , thanks", or that kind of thing. Just as =
at
the head of the original message you have ---man-x <address>wrote:
and I have name escribi=F3: Just the same but in spanish and without the =
address
of the email.
And no body bothers if there is no standard heading of the original respo=
nse
in the replies, for all users of the list, because everybody knows that i=
t is
a simple automatic generated header for the replies. (I admit that if one=
 has
chances to receive e-mails from people who doesn't understand the oneself
language, in autoreply would be better use an english automatic generated
text, but being automatic means nobody is really interested in it)

Do you remember that guy, some months ago, perhaps a year, with a
turkish-german kind of name, who sem to be german, who had either the
autoreply function on and we had many Erdogam Horzum or so messages with =
the
subject "received"?, sure the same automatic text, but in polish.

Just the list must defend against attacks and attackers, but only against
them, not all people who has the same language. I believe all the respons=
es to
all agressions must be in good proportion to the attack and be done again=
st
the attackers, not to anybody we could have ahead of us.

So, get calm, please.

His messages weren't polish messages, were english messages, just the sen=
t by
the list to him, with an automatic header of autoreply. Or is this a span=
ish
message?

P.S. - No answer needed for this message. I think we all know what each o=
f us
think about it. Just stop this thread before it becomes as annoying as th=
e
attack itself.
