One of the Moderators removed your two failed attempts at
a reply, you only leaving two posts containing nothing but the
entire quoted contents of your first post.

There is the www.spamcop.net FAQ which was the starting point
of the FAQ found in the Forum ... The "set-up" issue seems odd,
with so many other folks able to reply just fine .. noting again that
both of your attempts "worked" .. just not having any content but
the repeat of your first post ... Perhaps a couple of entries in the
"How to Use .. Forum" might have cleared up some confusion on
your part ..????

Problem is that I was trying to clear up that you report your spam, I
report mine.  There is no connection as far as the SpamCop parser
is concerned.  So any "already reported" issue is based solely on
"your" reported spam .. nothing to do with my reported spam.
Not sure why you'd call this "brilliant" and still miss the point.

As above, there is no connection between spam you report and
the spam someone else reports ... the slow-down remark dealt
with your "got three screens running and am getting wierd errors" ...
As backed up with StevenUnderwood's and Blammo's remarks,
this "hurried" actioning can lead to possible glitches.

I'm not sure I see the connection between your alleged problem, the
SpamCop Forum, these newsgroups, and NANAE ....????
