Being the moron that I am, I'd like to direct your attention to the last
word quoted there... "but".
"But", when used without a second 't', denotes that everything the person
just said is completely negated. The true purpose of the word is to draw
attention to what comes after it; so usually what comes before it is nothing
more than a self-serving attack meant to somehow further support the
person's opinion in an indirect, negative approach.
The negativity here being that we're morons, the part that's supposed to be
wiped from memory being that "offering cobalt equipment to the forum is
spam".

Being someone who sometimes has money to spend, I avoid at all costs any
company/person who has interrupted my privacy and assumed that I wanted to
read their advertisement. I get bombarded with advertisements every time I
leave my house or turn on the radio or tv... I don't need it in my inbox.
The companies/people who respect that simple little thing - my privacy - are
the ones who get my money.

But then again, I'm just a moron.
Which leads me to a curiosity - if we're such morons, why art thou still
here? I don't make it a habit to suffer (whom I consider to be) idiots; I'd
think any self-respecting intelligent person would feel the same way.
