Great idea, Steve. Seems to me though that it would only work if you've got that kind of money. But then, if you did, wouldn't there be better uses for it? --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yeah, it's a cool idea if someone does it to you once. But, if you start getting five to ten ad spends a day it will clutter up your financial statements real fast. I think I would get pretty po'ed about it. But it is possible now, isn't it. OK, E-Gold could add a feature to their

There's a good solution to this: e-gold should add the ability to categorize spends so as to make agregating or ignoring a slew of spamdonations easier. show all, show spams, show MMs, show purchases... etc. If you went this route -- to allow 'Spam Spends' -- then a category could be set-up
