You know Terminator 2, where no matter how many times Arnie splats the baddie its component parts recombine and attack again? That's what battling persistent forum spammers feels like.

I suppose I had naively thought that lampooning the poster's sledgehammer approach to link-building would alert him to the error of his ways but it was met with the stony indifference of a robot and a continued stream of stupid questions from a supposed proofreader with no feel for English.
