Why can't these trolls learn how to spell?

"loose" and "looser" instead of "lose" and "loser"
"your" instead of "you're"
Capitalization seems to be a problem for him. His shift key works, since he was able to put the "$" symbol (Shift-4) in his screed.
Since when has CAUSS been a "business" (and what is the "bueeter (sic) business bureau")?

Froggie (1870 signs removed... and counting )

Is this one for real or is has someone been out in to sun too long removing illegal signs? Nevertheless, I can't wait for Art and Redstone to jump on this one.

It's for real alright.
That's the reason we put it on the forum, word for word, exactly as written.
And, froggie asks "why can't these trolls spell". Probably for the same reason that 75%
of the graduating high school seniors can't do simple math without a calculator (as in device or human).

Hi, Bill!

All is well here. Has been for a couple years.

Hope you had a great holiday weekend!

--Art

My campaign is mostly pointed against those spammers who post over many miles and in egregous numbers. I tend to leave the occasional yard/estate sale alone on the usual short period of their sale. Their signs are usually so light duty that they curl up with a little dew. Even the couple of church signs in my area are illegal & I am definately not messing with the man upstairs ! Zero tolerance can be a hard hill to defend.

Somewhere down the road someone was quoted as saying;
"common sense is the better part of valor"

GW

Personally, I am bothered by religious institutions who think that they are exempt from laws that apply to everyone else. church spam is normal prey for my hunter-gatherer activities

DenverShark

I respect those who "exempt" certain signs. I decide based on the circumstances and how I am feeling that day. For example, if I stop for a "We Buy Houses" sign I will pick up any signs nearby, regardless. I generally don't stop for a current yard sale or lost pet sign.

Newbie (not)

my beef is with all of those.

I have gotten a flat tire after driving down the road and picking up a nail. Similar to nails used to hold up street spam/garage sale signs.

The professional spammers, at least, use solid construction techniques. You won't get THOSE screws in your tires.

I am also amazed by those who write GARAGE SALE on a cardboard box, then use a cinder block to hold the box on a traffic island.

It goes on all over the country.
These types don't have enough common sense to realize the signs will blow down or knocked down by whom ever.
Either that or they simple don't care when it comes to trashing out the enviornment.

GW

Well, any further "news" from this spammer?
