Nigerian Scammers Brought to Justice

KaushalParekh writes "Almost all of us get those junk emails from someone in Africa usually promising millions of dollars if you give them your bank details. Finally good to know that they are being caught by the authorities and punished. These are also known as 419 emails named after the Nigerian penal code for fraud. As an interesting aside, fooling these scammers by responding to their emails is a fun passtime for quite a few who call themselves baiters. Check out the trophy pictures of these spammers.. pretty funny."

Is Slashdot now operated by one person?

Every article on the page is posted by Zonk!

*sigh* OK, so it's O.T., but where *could* I post this?

Stop projecting your stupidity. The part about ethical reductionism was especially hilarious.

Do you think anyone is paying attention to you? If so, congratuations on your rich fantasy life.

Or maybe you fantacise you're the practical sort? Are you planning to apply for Rove's job when they are finally forced to dump the turd blossom?

Truly hilarious. But still garbage. Telling me I need to read more? My primary database of books that I've read has around 2,500 entries now. For my own shopping convenience (to avoid buying books I've already read) it's online and searchable at my Tripod website. Before I stopped keeping track, I filled up an entire notebook with stuff like the titles of magazine articles and references to financial reports, but the Web finally dissuaded me from worrying about tracking the small stuff. And you "think" I should read more? Hilarious.

If I was interested in arguing with fools, I would thank you for the additional evidence of your crazed stupidity. As it stands I'm just laughing at you, and I actually have to thank you for being such an amusing joke.

Let me guess. Every two minutes you stand up from the keyboard and wave a rubber chicken around the room. That's the only way you could be any funnier.

No, I didn't answer because you're an obvious fool who cannot be reasoned with. Any substantive comments I make are for the benefit of non-fools. By now, there is only a small likelihood of normal people seeing this old thread. Do you understand how /. works?

However, you have served an accidental purpose of making the language come alive. I was going to say I have nothing but contempt for you. It's not just that you're dumber than average--about half the people are--, but that you're a pompous and noisy idiot. However, I now realize that you are beneath contempt. I had encountered that expression a number of times, but didn't really understand what it meant until you so thoroughly illustrated it. As near as I can tell, your chief purpose in life is to give meaning to the phrase "beneath contempt".

(This post is just spleen venting because I find such aggressive stupidity annoying. No real substance here. However, your particular brand of idiocy is actually relatively harmless, in stark contrast to the Bushevik and Rushevik flavors of stupidity.)
