Mr. Bedo is correct. My application runs every ten minutes. So if we get flooded with a bunch of spam, then it could take up to ten minutes for my program to fire up. I don't filter it out right away. Rather my program detects it after the fact every ten minutes. Also my anti-spam application is not fool-proof. If my Internet connection goes down or the application hangs up, I might not be able to delete anything for a longer period of time. Finally there will always be some spam that my application doesn't detect. So we will never be free of the spam and will always have a need for the volunteers who help manually delete the spam on the various message boards.

On a different note... I meet some friends at Harrah's tonight. Played $1/$2 NL for a couple hours before dinner. Max buy-in is $200 and I left the table with over $800 (including my buy-in). I think I lost one hand the whole night at the river. I just ran over the table and caught everytime I chased. Then after dinner I played some craps with buddy and won a few hundred there too. I was UNSTOPPABLE! Good to get a night like that sometimes... makes up for those nights where you go home broke!
