SPAM

[Was (Bob)]

If Jack works all day, then Jacks a dull boy!
but
if Jack can have some fun while working, then what is Jack?

That's very much it. And I think it serves the community well to be very openly hostile to the really egregious spammers.

I prefer to use renames that somehow have something to do with the notion of "spam".

For example, check out the following poster, who initially had "BIGBROWNBEAR" as their alias: http://www.investorshub.com/beta/profile.asp?user=6381

Or this one, formerly known as "amber_rose_2001": http://www.investorshub.com/beta/profile.asp?user=6148

Or the one by Brad Dryer, who got me hooked on this game: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/profile.gsp?id=4518770
