Uh, the ludicrous fake replies. For example, I query on "Gerald Brom", I
routinely see responses like "GERALD_BROM.EXE" "GERALD_BROM.ZIP", etc, which
I know from experience are either some form of advertisement or some sort of
Windows trojan (if not both). Such spam is easy to spot, as it's always a
variation of the query string ("gerald_brom.jpg" "g_e_r_a_l_d_b_r_o_m.exe"
"GERALD_BROM.wmv", etc), so identifying it is no problem.
I'm afraid that the SHA1-based "spam.txt" solution is simply ineffective -
all the spammer needs to do to the change the SHA1 is change one bit
anywhere in the file. The spammers can potentially re-roll their payload on
a daily basis, so there's no way to keep "spam.txt" current...

Not intuitive for me, apparently :-). When I'm working with a GUI, I tend
to look for mouse-based techniques for everything. I never even though of
highlighting the entries and hitting the <Delete> key.......
Never mind - Problem exists only in mind of the user......
