What works for you is good for you but it is not the end all answer to stop all spam.

You can't stop human spammers without stopping legitimate human traffic.

Goals don't change because they are difficult or impossible. If that were true, we would have never made the moon landings. On the contrary, the bar should actually be raised due to difficulty, not lowered.

I get targeted daily, like most everyone else. 100s of attempts a day. There's NEW boards out there, NO posts yet, getting spammed. Happens all the time.

I agree and never made any such assertion. Or even thought it, or even suggested it.

I try to help others and don't mind admitting I'm not all that good at it. But I try.
