Comments on: someone has learnt to flickr spam http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2005/10/31/someone-has-learnt-to-flickr-spam/ The life and education of two growing beans - our 10th year of blogging Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:18:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.34 By: Helen http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2005/10/31/someone-has-learnt-to-flickr-spam/#comment-1872 Thu, 03 Nov 2005 18:57:57 +0000 http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/?p=554#comment-1872 It could well be your Dad, and then I’ll be happy, as I do know him! I think its dengue fever association that makes me think its nasty. I guess you’re right in thqat it seems more of a sense of humour thing than spam. SO I’ll still be waiting for the first flickr spammer then!

And also hello quadrapop – I unmoderated you after nipping to your blog. Very nice. Don’t know that i am an unschooler. Think i might be a continuum unschooler [ie mostly autonomous, but some suggestions!]

I thought it was funny too – look at my photos, and then there are 117 copies of a photo of a trsetse fly? How could you not find that amusing? ;-)

And hello Quadrapop – have just realised you aren’t a man! Nice to meet you here and elsewhere, as well as on Flickr.

Spam until proven otherwise, even if a low volume.

he’s only made 4 contacts in the 3 weeks he’s been around.
maybe it’s just a joke? or an excuse to join groups? maybe he’s a yahoo member who’s moved over to flickr?
no favourites either…
not worth the block biton unless he’s making unwanted comments on your photos IMHO

is it your dad??
i suppose i jumped to spam as all the pictres the same, and have been wondering how long before flickr comment boxes are spammed

(Was my first thought on clicking on your link, and then looking at the contacts seems to confirm it.)

How did he spam you with it though?
