Spammers Busted

Scud_the_disposable_ writes "CNN has posted an article about the "shutting down" of several spammers who sell fake international driver's licenses. These licenses are supposed to win back suspended driving priviledges, and make holders immune to speeding tickets and other traffic violations." What makes me even more sad is that people fell for it. So far today is a slow spam day for me. Only 81 spam, but its only 9:30.

first posting isn't trolling, its a fundamental part of the slashdot culture. A successful first poster must be a dedicated slashdot reader, quick on the mouse and able to hold his cool and avoid posting before 20 secs is up. I always drop down to (-1) to see who got FP today, kind of like checking the footy scores, but nerdier.
I've got 3 FP's myself and I'm damn proud of it to.

subjunctive

FYI:
"If I were a spammer", not was. Expressing doubt.
"I demand you be here tomorrow", not are. Expressing an imperative.
"God save the Queen", not saves. Expressing a wish.

Some would say that "If I was xxx" is correct in spoken English. Up to you.

The subjunctive case is a gem in the English language. I'm by no means an expert (spot the mistake in this post!), but I think it's a bit of shame that the subjunctive is dying.
