   one never knows what spammers will do... look at that brian fellow who spammed   
   several echos from several boards the other week... something about him being   
   censored on the 'net and trying to post a link to some kind of supposed video   
   about racism, the kkk, and other similar mess... it appeared more like social   
   engineering to me where they try to get you to download a supposed updated   
   flash or other video driver that is actually a trojan or other infester...   
      
   BTW: my post was a joke ;)
