LOL Paulie! I'd be happy to make a visit if u supply the I.P. and physical address to me. Will collect and bring u back a nice souvenier. Maybe a finger or two.

Thanks for the offer, Nick. Like refs, we issue one "sideline warning". then, we just turn it over to the lawyers if it happens again. What bozos like this don't realize is that since they are on Blogger, we can get full information on them. And, our legal representatives get a healthy cut for services rendered on cllection of unauthorized advertising spam. We usually don't see them again after the first warning. If we do, we take action.
Delete"Gexton"...a hack who tries to sell crap by spamming comments sections, has received a warning. If it persists, we prosecute.
And win.
