You know I've tried to write a story. Several actual. I just don't seem to have the attention span for it.

It was the set-up for a call/response spam. The OP says, "I need help with something." The same person with a different name comes in and "helpfully" suggests the OP go to a website that has everything that was asked for. Ususally with porn sites and dating services included for no extra charge. Of note, the OP has not posted any other messages...

Interesting the spam link was removed, but not the thread itself - is that policy?

I obviously have no awareness of the policy, but they may have left it here due to Fledchen's helpful (to others) response (which, come to think, I should karma).

Cheers,
