    Got this message a few minutes ago on this very forum:

    Some problems were encountered
    You have posted 5 comments within 60 seconds. A spam block is now in effect on your account. You must wait at least 120 seconds before attempting to post again.

    Can I help it if I'm pithy and I type fast?

    Shame on thee, Mrs,T. You have been caught with your spammers down.

    I have always suspected it, but couldn't quite put my finger on it, although that would have been nice.

    Hormel Foods Corporation, the maker of SPAM luncheon meat, does not object to the Internet use of the term "spamming". However, they did ask that the capitalized word "Spam" be reserved to refer to their product and trademark. From Wiki: spam (*&$^%#$), not Spam (munch, munch)

    singing:
    If you were a spammer,
    you'd spammer in the morning,
    you'd spammer in the evening,
    all over the this internet highway.
    You'd spam out diet tricks
    you'd spam out cigarette warning
    you'd spam about the love between matchcom and whatever it is, cupid, something dot com, all over this land.

    From Wikipedia....

    According to the Internet Society and other sources, the term spam is derived from the 1970 Spam sketch of the BBC television comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.[12] The sketch is set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes Spam canned luncheon meat. As the waiter recites the Spam-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam... lovely Spam! wonderful Spam!", hence "Spamming" the dialogue.[13] The excessive amount of Spam mentioned in the sketch is a reference to the preponderance of imported canned meat products in the United Kingdom, particularly a brand of spiced ham (SPiced hAM = SPAM) from the USA, in the years after World War II, as the country struggled to rebuild its agricultural base. Spam captured a large slice of the British market within lower economic classes and became a byword among British children of the 1960s for low-grade fodder due to its commonality, monotonous taste and cheap price - hence the humour of the Python sketch.

    I don't know how to link, but please cut and paste the spam below...spam spam spam spam......

    Thumble, to paste a direct link to a video, type <a href=" in front of the URL, and ">title</a> after the URL. Click the HTML button before you post. There's a way to get it to open in a separate window, but I forget what that is. We used to have a thread about this.

    Oh, Cassbt, when I am able to do that, you will know I've died and some youngster has taken over "Zelda".



    Thanks though. I am sure Mrsthing or NO can do it!

    For the hard of remembering, here is cass's link in its entirety:

    *****************
    POP-UP LINKS FOR The Spanking New John Cleese Forum:

    <a target="_blank" href="SITE URL">SITE NAME</a>

    eg.

    <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mysite.com">My Site's Name</a>

    Even if embedded linking is disabled by the author, as often happens with YouTube vids, you can create a clickable link as follows (the URL in both parts):

    <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mysite.com">http://www.mysite.com</a>

    I also posted that information in the sticky thread about posting links, and making text effects.

    It's all in the first few posts. Though page two of that thread had me laughing heartily the other day.
