Subject: Typo on your web page

I happened upon your web site and noticed that the word "Beginning" is
misspelled (you have it as "Begining"). The URL of the page is:
http://listproc.itribe.net/shadowtk/9611/msg00268.html

I hope this helps.

It's an automated spambot. My own web page got hit with it a few weeks
ago, and so did someone on ShadowTK due to the TK logs being online, except
the message bounced right to TK, I believe.

Don't we all... The only message anywhere near that thread that had the word
"Begining" as the subject was by one QWERTY....

Why the hell would someone set up a SPAMBOT to go around correcting web page
spelling mistakes?????


That one makes absolutely no sense at all...

You're telling me that someone crossed a spambot with a spellchecker
program?

I don't know about the spam you got, but the one sent to me and TK had a
shill for spellchecker software.

Would that be a spamchecker or a spellbot?

I've got mailed by this joker, as did my college's astronomy club.
I think It's an automated form letter- looks like he's trying to sell
something.

Hmm. It's a reasonable crusade; very little actual grammar and spelling
is taught in many schools nowadays. Not to mention that the US decided
to redefine the spelling of various words (e.g. "nite", "color"); I
can
only guess as to why... ;-)

Mine too.
It was a message on the shadowtk archives, and it wasn't even MY message.
That's what I found amusing. He was correcting me on a spelling mistake for
the subject of an article that wasn't even mine....

That's why I called him so thick that even the most dense windoze user can
feel superior...

Heh, just today I received one of those "Is your site real?" messages, which I
attached, below. Appears that he could've benefited from that spambot
spellchecker...

And yeah, I answered it in the appropriate manner ;-)
