I noticed for the first time tonight here on mylot 3 duplicate responses to a 3 similar discussions. When I say duplicate, I mean word for word copy. Its not plagiarism because it came from the same person. It was as if the person went searching for a topic and found more than one discussion on it. Then, they gave the same response to all of them. Does this seem weird and phony and solely monetarily motivated? Why do people sometimes need to be so unreal? I believe evolution is possible everywhere and even for mylot and I hope that this kind of idiocy ceases to be at some point. I am a dreamer and believe people can become more rather than less if we help one another along down the road. I hope when I am older I do not turn into an insufferable bore who thinks they know it all and have to give the same standard responses to every person out there because they are so certain they have everyone figured out.
The moment we think we have it figured out is the moment we cease to be an individual worthy of honest attention.
Time to move on.

What a shame!
What a shame!
What a shame!
Anyways, I think it is a combination of trying to merely "get" money rather than earn it, and a case of shamelessly trying to deceive others into thinking that they have actually given thought to the discussion posted. I have come across many people who work like this. Their whole point is to take as much as they can, from whoever they can, for their own personal gain. What's worse is that a number of them have rationalized it to me by saying things like "Well, someone's going to do it." or "Who cares? There's a sucker born every minute!" and other pathetic excuses in the vein. Some have actually said they are doing a service by taking advantage of the naive. They believe it keeps some sort of balance in the cosmos. To me, they're all bottom feeders afraid of failure. I personally see no reason not to work for what you get. Yes, it's nice to have a freebie now and then, but I sincerely believe you get what you give. (And with what I pay in taxes, I outta be a millionaire real soon).

It does seem like there is an underlying balancing act going on in regards to everything - monetary and/or otherwise. It does seem that we do end up paying for what we owe one way or another, as well as receiving our just rewards.
May we all get what we deserve.

I guess they are desperate of earning the mighty dollar, which they resort to ignorance and stubborness.
It is against the guidelines to copy/paste such posts, a response or other discussions. I would be glad to know who that or those person/people was, it's better if we'd report them. I think that is what spamming was all about, it is considered a cheat and an act of stupidity.

The sad thing is that this person doesn't always seem to be an insufferable bore. Also, I have always had a hard time with reporting people unless it is for a truly abusive act (like exposing someones past or betraying a confidence and making it public).
Other than that...
I just hope that they start treating people with the respect they would hope to receive.
Upon more thought, I'm thinking they are not so much a spammer as much as them being overly attached to a response they felt they needed to spread far and wide. I sincerely hope they aren't just about the money.
