The California medical board is threatening to revoke the license of Dr. William Edwin Gray III for selling homeopathic sound files over the Internet that he claims—without evidence or reason—can cure a variety of ailments, including life-threatening infections such as Ebola, SARS, swine flu, malaria, typhoid, and cholera.
If that can cure me of my old age too, I'm all game! Which button must I press?

We had a rather nice discussion here several months ago regarding moderation and use of the SPAM mod.
I am quite pleased that I can set my own preferences to where I get anything that has been typed into this system, regardless of any moderation, except SPAM.
Most stuff is appropriately moderated, but I find stuff more negatively moderated than how I would have moderated it. Most people have their own idea they want to run up the pole, just to see if anyone will salute. I do it a lot myself.
I reserve my own right not to salute, but it takes a helluva bad post before I will piss on it.
Because the SPAM mod is the only mod where one has a good portion of their own dog in the fight, I have yet to see that one incorrectly used, however the other negative moderations are often misnomers for " I Disagree ", which in my book is way insufficient to warrant negative moderation.

So you think the spam modded stuff is modded correctly and hide it through the filter? How do you know it's modded correctly then? Oh, you still see it and don't use the filter. What's the point of the mod then - seeing spam have a spam tag gives you some kind of personal sense of winning? "Oh, that spam I just read was modded spam - take that spammers"

I trust the guy ahead of me who points out a cowpie.
I do not need to step in it too.

Oh, absolutely. When it's sunny out I trust that the sky is blue so I don't need to look up and check. That's why if the car in front of me is moving I don't look at the light and trust it's green.
So you don't read it then, yet claim the spam mod is modded correctly. Gotcha. Maybe stepping in cowpies is one thing, and logic applied to cowpies has zero to do with reading spam. Idiot.

The OBSTRUCTIONISTS call me a spammer. They call me many things, believe me. And they just hit me with another Spam mod. Right in this topic. Where someone tweeted that we're all old people. And I said, I don't feel old. That's considered Spam, by them. Because I wrote it. Not easy to see, someone put "Funny" after the Spam mod. Gandhi said something very smart, he said first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they win. But after that, maybe they fight you and then they laugh at you. That's what just happened to me, folks. But they're still HATERS & LOSERS!!!!
