I have a Yahoo list on which we post (among other humourous stuff) regular items of happenings in the Real World.

Just had to share this one with you...

I have been reguarly fighting SPAM for years - on another Yahoo list - and have recently given up trying to fight anything other than Child Porn - there's just too much at the moment!

So I advised the NSW Police force (and others) as I do - and the now have installed a new S/W Police Robot.

Still scratching my head...

Why we are not allowed to forward to the Police unwanted messages
containing language of this sort in order to get the Police to help track down and prosecute offenders - or do we just have to protect the delicate sensibilities of the Police Force at all costs?

And with regard to understandability - just exactly what does "If this message relates to genuine Police business then please contact the recipient and to request Memo Administration to release the message" mean please?
