Huh? How about a program:
foreach(thread) { if (date(lastpost(thread))) < -20days) close(thread); } I hadn't conceived that anyone would be able to conceive of doing such a thing manually. I disagree with Pandy -- because these spam entries are often in ancient threads that were interesting but long forgotten, it's not obvious that they are spam, particularly as the first thing that comes up is the original post. If the spam were all in recent threads, chances are I would be reading the thread anyway. |

I don't care if you agree with me or not.

Oops, that sounded different than I meant it to. I meant that I'm not going to do it.
