Mac, I'll bet you're an excellent speaker of what linguists might call standard American English. And I'll bet you're not aware of thousands of variations that people use all over the world.

No one says "just to say a hello" and members should be plural.

A non-native speaker of English could miss the "s" on members, especially if their mother tongue uses verbs differently with mass nouns and count nouns than American English does.

As for the other expression, Google it!

The following are nine of the first ten google responses. The tenth one refers to this thread. If you look, you'll even find that some of these sources are American.

It is option (d) Ernie I am afraid: spammer. That alias is registered on many forums with no posts and the clearing house for such aliases shows four reports of being a spammer: [Link: stopforumspam.com]

Why does that site tell me that there are sixteen entries for "amirm"? Is that guy, whoever he might be, a forum spammer? I thought I understood what you were saying until I entered your name!

No it doesn't show any for amirm. Those 16 names have "amirm" in them but they are not just "amirm." These are aliases on forums so exact match is what you want to look for.

It is a classic spammer first post. I have seen hundreds. To confirm, we look them up in stopforumspam database and if there are hits there, it confirms it. There are four reports of that alias there. On our forum, we have actually automated this where posts like this never make it to the forum and the person is banned automatically.

The way you can tell is that the say nothing specific related to the forum in their first posts. That's because they have no idea what we do here.

He's baaaaack....

Welcome, TK! Why do i have a feeling you have an unbelievable bargain to share with us?

That is both a little stereotypical, bigotted, and borderline racist --- if in fact this fellow is real.

He may be a real guy.

Be careful what you say.

Explain how you came to that conclusion. Figuring out the mistakes in your brain wiring might help your therapist figure out what is wrong with you.

He may be a real guy.

No one said he wasn't. Have you ever wondered why your brain causes you to jump to conclusions that seem to be pulled randomly from your @ss? Ever think that maybe this logic issue you suffer from could be causing problems for you when you are interacting with others?

Be careful what you say.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

But he was indeed a spammer. If you run a forum, you get to recognize them pretty easily. If you had access to the e-mail, it would probably been a dead giveaway and probably would have come up in various on-line spammer lists as mentioned above. I can almost unerringly recognize a spammer e-mail from a legitimate one.

What's particularly stupid is this push to create all of these alternative domain types, when basically you will never get a legitimate contact from any of them. I don't think we have ever had a single legitimate contact that wasn't from one of the long established domains (com, net, org, and a few country ones.) You could just ban all of those other domains and hardly ever miss anything important.
