    Default Please dump this spamming new member.

    I know it's a lot to ask of this site to have a moderator actually see this request and act on it, but there's a new member who's joined only to spam members using private messages to push his philosophy. If I wanted quotes from Albert Einstein on Buddhism I'd have joined a Buddhism list, not a car list. Please make him go away:

    I bet everybody got it on here. Googled and found about half a dozen other forums where the same message has been sent to members. If the idea of the message is to promote discussion about buddhism it fails miserably. Perhaps its a marketing tool? - you say you got it so they know you are live and kicking?

    It's just a bot harvesting mail addresses or perhaps up to something worse. If 1/1,000,000 respond with an email in their sig/message, they're on a winner; something for nothing is an equation we all like.
