    Now you get ads to buy non-Toyota vehicles.

    As I type this there is a Dodge RAM ad at the top of the page.

    Are they trying to tell us to leave & go elsewhere? o_O:confused:

    I am still getting no ads!

    I could live with a few, but for awhile -- even with FireFox -- there were a bunch of video ads on the left side that basically crashed my computer each time. Then, something happened with FireFox -- maybe it was me -- and no more ads.

    Feel bad that spam flood is coming from China. Or appears to be.

    Thought I was only one here who even knows our humble abode exists.

    hkmb does not count. He's a visitor (mentally say that word in some malicious accent)

    Even though his language skills dwarf mine :)

    I also volunteered, but heard nothing yet. To bad we can't find a way to do a reverse spam.

    Attack back !!!!!

    There was something like that. I read about one IoT botnet that patched infected security cameras.

    Reverse spam would require software knowledge so far beyond mine, I can't sketch the edges. All I want is a delete button. Pew pew pew.

    In simpler times, when telemarketing was top spam, I got calls from LA Times newspaper asking me to subscribe. I let monologue go with just 'yes' 'oh' 'wow' as stimuli in response. Finally the money question "so can we sign you up?"

    "Sorry I don't know how to read"

    (not the only lie I ever told, sadly)

    Shut 'em right down

    LOL!! Reminds me of a coworker who got a call from Sears years ago offering a free estimate on vinyl siding. She said, "Sure!" They were kind of upset to come out and find that she had a brand new brick house. :ROFLMAO:

    I think our current moderators were chosen to cover the US time zones.

    Somebody needs to tell Danny the Internet (and PriusChat) covers much more than just the US. :D
    Restricting the site to North American ip addresses (Need to include Canada) would exclude many valued users here. ;)
