So, as Stuart mentioned above, since no two boards have the same audience, and since there are a lot more lurkers than there are active participants at ANY board, it only makes sense to respond to the spam request anywhere you see it.

yeah it should be blatanly obvious that in that case the intended audience for the reply isn't the person who started the thread and has already seent he response but the multiple readers from the different boards.. some people here just don't think that shit through before they it the "reply" button.
