It's spam, no matter how good you think the cause may be. Spam alienates people. It does *not* sway them to your point of view. Being spammy is a great way to *discourage* people from whatever you want to encourage them to do. I recommend you stop. You have already convinced many on this list, I am certain, that visiting your site will be a complete waste of time, because spammy behavior is a very strong indicator of scammy ideas. > > > > I think back to the good old Eliza program, back in my late primary > > school days in the era of the TRS-80 and Apple ][e computers.
