This is the second spam emailed to me and I am hoping the administration can stop this spamming.

maybe edit your email address out of the above posting as well

Do you subscribe to the forum, "Science News", if so that is probably why you are receiving this email. We do have systems in place to reduce the level of spam that is posted but unfortunately no system is perfect.
Klaynos - share and enjoy.

Thanks I will try unsubscribing to that forum.

Yes, you received the email because you were subscribed to Science News, and spammers seem to target that forum to post their spam. The posts are usually deleted very quickly, but the subscription email is sent out as soon as they're posted.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an instant zapper that zapped spammers immediately, and so painfully they were discouraged from doing it again.

Unsubscribing seems to have resolved the problem. Knock on wood.

We have a button which instantly bans a spammer and removes all their posts, but unfortunately computer manufacturers have neglected to put 50,000 Volt power supplies in laptops so I can zap spammers directly.

There's an idea for a patent

I suggested putting small amounts of platic explosive into moblile phones and having a number you could dial to detonate them as an anti-theft device....
