For the 4th or so time in recent posts, *no* - spamlinks is not my
website.

If you will post here what website or link or url you are talking about,
someone can take a look.

Hell, we use and abuse the spamcop.spam newsgroup for all kinds of
things.  Since this is a spamcop news related issue, let's just take a
look at it attached to a message in .spam.  Start a message in .spam
[not here], use your Insert menu/ File attachment item/ navigate to the
saved .jpg or whatever it is and click it into being attached.

We're not talking about any website of mine here.  I honestly believe
that topposting interferes with the ability of the topposter to read
messages which are posted in reply to other messages.  If you will read
and reply by trimming and contextualizing for an inline 'conversation'
I'll bet you will be able to perceive that spamlinks isn't my website.
