They are laughing at you because instead of improving your own stuff, you have been killing off what they were already assumign would be dead.

Alex, first of all, it's not possible for the average webmaster to "improve" their own stuff to a level where it effectively compete with a comitted spammer. But that's another issue.

If it can't be done by spending a few hours per month, if it takes more time than that, I agree, it wouldn't work.

But, it's possible that the return on investment for two hours a month of spam reporting could be significant. We don't have to stop spam completly, but like with any parasite, it could be healthy to knock it back every once in a while.

I share your general annoyance at google. I have yet to actually, personally SEE the google spamreport work.

I think it's an experiment that should be tried.
