Why is TakeTheActive translating Spam?
Possibly for the same reason I ran one through BabelFish... to see what it was? It might have been someone asking for help! Although I must admit, I didn't re-post the translation because it WAS spam, but did you take into consideration his comment that it didn't make any sense to him and maybe he was looking for help determining what this person was asking for?

So, is it the creative use of colors and fonts to emphasize a point that makes him a "Web Troll" or just that you haven't noticed any of the posts where he HAS tried to point people at helpful information?
Your signature line. "Low Post Count != Low Knowledge - High Post Count != High Knowledge" is also childish.
If you think, that be posting just to be posting and not contributing anything shows that you're knowledgable.
You're sadly mistaken.
Actually if you look at the spacing in his signature line the ! & = are run together (!=) in many programming languages this is <> (not equal), so isn't he saying just the opposite?
This simply confirms how childish you really are.
Well IMHO we're all being a bit childish by bashing each other instead of helping the people who need our knowlege.
Now that I've made myself Public Enemy #2... I'm going to go take a few deep breaths and try to come back in a more civil frame of mind and see if there's anyone on these forums I can actually help.

Mr. Lawrence,
IMO, in your position as a Community Organizer, you need to "clean-up your act" and demonstrate a more 'professional' attitude. Or step down.
Instead of creating posts where you're:
- Calling people names: "I'm beginning to think he's a Web Troll."
. - Making false statements: "...rarely gives advice that he has learned by using X10."
. - Publicly picking on the poor X-10 Staff Newbies for their typos and LINK errors (either transposed or late) or denouncing their products. Here are just a 'few' examples:
Your link, like your offers, is no good. :(
Here's where it actually takes you: http://www.x10.com/homepage.htm.
Either the deal is no good, not available or just another "come on".

Once again, The Bandit is advertising the out of date Active Home package with the serial CM11A interface, which many WindowsXP machines will not support.
Don't be fooled. :(
BTW you can buy the Active Home Pro package for just $49.95, which will run on XP with few problems.

OK, good buddy, Where's the LINK???.

This is what you get when you tell it to search the web for the deal: Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.x10.com/promotions/vault_pro2000.html.
Click on the link and the Vault opens, but NO Pro 2000 is shown.
If this deal is real, the link needs to be fixed.

Then your only choice is to upgrade to Active Home Pro unless you want to be frustrated with Active Home. If there happens to be a computer show near where you live, you might be able to pick up a copy of Win98 for that spare computer you have and run Active Home on it.
Since you got taken in by one of the Bandit's deals, either contact X10's Customer Support, see if they will give you a lower price on Active Home Pro or put the 'ol crowbar in the wallet and get AHP for the $49.99 price.
Your choice.

I would have thought that those kinds of conversation belonged in PRIVATE MAIL. [Whose side are you on? :-[ ]
