Comedy gold. But seriously: people tend to expect spam from such a random posting.

Well seriously I do apoligize for not sticking to the Frank Black subject, but we opened a new thread just to avoid SPAMING conversations that were already underway. This is a real issue and the sites that cover these sort of issues are not getting enough hits from certain groups of people...minorities, young, non-native english speaker, so we had to go looking for them.

This section is dedicated to Frank Black. People (myself included) have mainly continued to contribute to this thread because it's such a laugh. And excuse me, 'apologise for not sticking to the Frank Black subject'? You obviously have no interest in him.

*slaps forehead*
OK, fine. You're the one spamming a forum, as this is an unrelated thread that you posted here. You're still avoiding the question of who you work for, which is why people are suspicious that you're trying to sell them something (as evidenced by the recommending of certain brands, naming prices, etc.).
Forget about trying to twist things for a minute - if there's no straight answer, people will either dismiss you as a spammer (thereby negating any effect you're trying to achieve) or mistake you for a politician, which is even worse.

Selling involves asking for money...
Anyone ask you for any money?
The products are identified by the manufacturer only and sold by a few dozen retailers. You would have to buy a warehouse full to even get the manufacture to take your order...not trying to push products from DuPont through the Frank Black Forum...duh
Some of the other threads are talking specifically about Frank Black or his music and some are way off that specific subject. This one clearly states Avian Influenze...who's SPAMMING WHO?

Yes...but not this thread, over 900 hits, (could not possibly be from the same 5 or 6 people who keep SPAMMING it
I just took a quick look at some of the other threads and found people who have been talking about Catholics for the last two dozen entries after someone casualy mentioned Frank Black just to get the thread started....
Ok...FRANK BLACK, ses now I did it, so I can post about something totally unrelated if I want to, just like lots of other people...right?
For you, this should be a thread that you have no interest in and never got past the first 3 or 4 posts. For the other 900 + hits, is is something that they obviously want to look at BASED ON THE TITLE OF THE THREAD :-)
and then they move on to talk about Frank Black...or Catholics :-)
WHO'S SPAMMING WHO...or is that Whom?

That's it, Mr. Lee! (I refuse to call anybody but Frank "Frank"). Don't you go mentioning the Catholics or I promise you I will blanket post your thread with Catholics pics like there's no tomorrow. And don't think I am kidding.
The almighty Catholics will rise again, I tell you!

As I look at it, spamming isn't even necessarily selling something, although it usually is. Putting lots of information in an innappropriate place, is. I'm happy enough not to call you a spammer (although I take exception to being called one myself), as spam on this forum tends to be a random hit-and-run kind of affair. What I am curious at is why you posted here in the first place, specifically, who you are working for, and why you feel that insulting or offending forum users is a good way to promote an otherwise good cause.

I happen to be Catholic and from a good Irish Catholic town so don't worry about me saying anything against the church...unless I say it to another Catholic :-)

I know this...
Reference: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10082158/
WHO warns of more bird flu in China
Virus survives longer in winter weather; Indonesia reports two more deaths
Updated: 9:56 a.m. ET Nov. 17, 2005
Fever check
In response to the Chinese cases, Hong Kong on Friday will begin checking the temperatures of people crossing the busy border with mainland China, officials said.
Officials will use 11 infrared machines that will screen the temperatures of travelers at the two border points, said Cindy Lai, assistant director at the Health Department.
Travelers with a fever will be assessed for flu symptoms and possibly referred to hospitals for a further check-up, the statement said.
In Vietnam, Prime Minister Phan Van Khai approved another $82.6 million for the fight against bird flu, and the government announced that its first large-scale emergency drill will take place later this month.
The first of three major exercises that will test pandemic preparedness will be held in Hanoi on Nov. 27, the official Vietnam News Agency said. Some 1,100 people, including health officials, police and military forces, will take part in the daylong drill, VNA said.
Vietnam has been battling the H5N1 virus since it emerged across poultry farms in late 2003 and has suffered two-third of the human deaths.
The country has taken increasingly tough measures against bird flu as the winter months approach, when the virus is most likely to spread.
and this...
Symptoms
Since H5N1 is an Influenza virus, symptoms similar to those of the common flu, such as fever, cough, sore throat, and sore muscles, can develop in infected humans. However, in more severe cases, pneumonia and respiratory failure can develop and eventually cause death. Patients with H5N1 Avian Influenza have rarely had conjunctivitis[3], unlike human cases of infection by the H7 virus.
and evryone who looks in on this page will know it too.

Only the self appointed forum Gestapo were ever insulted by the audacity of someone who would dare to start a thread that was not conforming to the official site subject matter...give me a break, this is 2005 and we are all using a free resource called the Internet to talk about what is on our mind.
Posting here because, you have to go to where the people are
Not SPAMMING, not SELLING, just informing for those who see the thread title and care to look...that's all
SECTION 1. MENTAL PREPAREDNESS
A. ATTITUDE
For certain, every person is different, yet we all seem to have one quality in common that effects our lives and that is that our mental attitude has a strong effect on our ability to succeed. Similarly, all disasters are different and yet very much the same and the first step in being prepared for any of them is to make a few mental accommodations to reality.
The most important reality being that natural disasters are part of the life of this planet and have been occurring long before man set foot here. The disappearance of the dinosaur should tell us that. A world visited by occasional disasters is simply the world we inherited from Adam and like anything else that you can not change, natural disasters are something that either happen with you or to you.
The next reality to accommodate is that manmade disasters are on the rise, not decline. Global Warming, International Terrorism, corporate greed and just plain crazy people can visit a disaster on you and your community, just as easily as Mother Nature…just ask anyone who has lost a loved-one to a industrial accident that affected an entire city, such as the Union Carbide plant release of poison that killed tens of thousands in India or people who were living in New York City during the attack on September 11, 2001
The last reality is that every living creature that deserves to live, wants to live and at some time or another might have to work hard at staying alive. Whether we are talking about the common Housefly or the soldier on the battlefield, adapting to a change in the natural environment, a predator on four legs or two or avoiding a microscopic life form that would really rather just live in you and feed off of you than actually kill you…it comes down to one thing, do you want to be here the same time tomorrow?
B. ASSUMPTIONS
In order to prepare a manual primarily intended for use by a population that is about as diverse as any on Earth, (American Urban Communities), certain generalities and assumptions were necessary, therefore, for the purpose of this document, the following assumptions were made concerning the general status of government agencies in regard to national and global emergency response, as well as to describe the typical reactions of most people, when it comes to life threatening situations.
There seems to be three basic types of individual reactions.
1. DENIAL
2. FLIGHT
3. FIGHT
1. DENIAL
#61623; Rationalization with the aim of determining the unlikely probability that an event will even occur, for the purpose of finding it not worthy of their attention.
#61623; Rationalization with the aim of convincing themselves that someone else will handle the emergency for them and their participation will require minimum effort.
2. FLIGHT
#61623; An instinctual reaction, resulting in unplanned efforts to run away from the area of the perceived danger.
#61623; A deliberate effort to depart the area of danger, with minimal planing.
3. FIGHT
#61623; Individual poorly organized attempts to resist the effects of a disastrous event.
#61623; Group disorganized attempts to resist the effects of a disastrous event.
C. CAPABILITIES
Based on performance reviews and stated resources, the follow assumptions are made in respect to local, State and Federal planing and response capabilities, as well as those of individual households and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
1. Government
#61623; Federal, State and local disaster management planing and response capabilities are currently inadequate to respond to an incident or natural event, constituting a national or global emergency, in a manner that will completely mitigate the effects…regardless of the nature of the incident or natural event.
#61623; Government capabilities are in the process of being increased.
2. Individual household and Community Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO)
In general, current resources of most NGOs and individual households are inadequate, in respect to their ability to prevent as well as to respond in a manner that will significantly mitigate the effect of incidents constituting national or global emergencies.
State-by-state look at response plans for bird flu
(Summary of Issues or State Responses )
Arizona — Temporary residents, winter visitors and migrant workers will create a potential vaccination target population that is nearly double that of the permanent resident population.
Arkansas — Possible declarations of snow days, when people would be asked to stay home for a specific period of time.
Georgia — Committee will consider population groups to get priority for a vaccine. The committee could include the state’s hospital association, state and district public health officials, the private sector and ethics experts.
Kansas — Hospitals would cancel non-emergency surgeries and other elective surgeries, and discharge non-infected patients to other facilities outside the affected geographical area. If all hospitals in the region are full, patients could be sent to nursing homes and schools.
New Mexico — Databases to be used for tracking surveillance efforts, vaccine inventory and distribution, patients and expenses.
Oregon — Survey ports of entry and develop a plan for isolation and supportive care for those entering the state who are ill.
Texas — Possibly close schools and limit activities such as shopping. Some businesses may need to shut down.
Wyoming — Local jurisdictions plans for mass vaccination clinics.

Frank Lee, don't you realise that noone is really reading the science stuff, we just want to laugh at your inane musings. The science may actually be interesting and informative, but you're not inspiring anyone to read it. The opposite in fact.
Go to another forum, do the same, and feel smug in the knowledge that frankblack.net members will suffer horrible death at the hands of Avian flu.
In fact, go here:
www.sigames.com sign up, and post in the off topic forum. That's where most people hang out. You'll get a wider and more refined audience. See you there.
That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

Not here to inspire you,you are making yourself more important than you are. Its like RAP music, if you don't like it, try and remember it was not intended for you. IT IS FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE 1100 VIEWINGS of the subject Avian Influenza Has Mutated
Is it so hard to simply ignor something you have no interest in and just get on with the things you enjoy? What about that Darwin issue...talk to each other about that, or some more of those nice bird pictures, that was fun...I have information to get out.
What would really help, would be if you knew a way to get people to come to one of the thousands of government or private sites that put out information on this and many other important subjects
I've heard Frank Black's music and I like it, but I know if you really wanted to talk about that subject, nothing here is standing in your way

Dayanara, attacking Dave is no different than attacking any other member and your account will be locked if you insist on continuing.
This is the best thread we've had over here in the last 6 months at least. Thank you, swimmer!

Well, seems Mr. Lee has managed to convert everyone to his cause! At least the topic has been move to General Chat. Of course, it's ridiculous that the topic has'nt been locked, let alone that FL has'nt been banned.
Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,
They were the best of friends.
So when Frankie Lee needed money one day,
Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
And placed them on a footstool
Just above the plotted plain,
Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy,
My loss will be your gain."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
And put his fingers to his chin,
But with the cold eyes of Judas on him,
His head began to spin.
"Would ya please not stare at me like that," he said,
"It's just my foolish pride,
But sometimes a man must be alone
And this is no place to hide."
Well, Judas, he just winked and said,
"All right, I'll leave you here,
But you'd better hurry up and choose
Which of those bills you want,
Before they all disappear."
"I'm gonna start my pickin' right now,
Just tell me where you'll be."
Judas pointed down the road
And said, "Eternity!"
"Eternity?" said Frankie Lee,
With a voice as cold as ice.
"That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity,
Though you might call it 'Paradise.'"
"I don't call it anything,"
Said Frankie Lee with a smile.
"All right," said Judas Priest,
"I'll see you after a while."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down,
Feelin' low and mean,
When just then a passing stranger
Burst upon the scene,
Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler,
Whose father is deceased?
Well, if you are,
There's a fellow callin' you down the road
And they say his name is Priest."
"Oh, yes, he is my friend,"
Said Frankie Lee in fright,
"I do recall him very well,
In fact, he just left my sight."
"Yes, that's the one," said the stranger,
As quiet as a mouse,
"Well, my message is, he's down the road,
Stranded in a house."
Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked,
He dropped ev'rything and ran
Until he came up to the spot
Where Judas Priest did stand.
"What kind of house is this," he said,
"Where I have come to roam?"
"It's not a house," said Judas Priest,
"It's not a house . . . it's a home."
Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled,
He soon lost all control
Over ev'rything which he had made
While the mission bells did toll.
He just stood there staring
At that big house as bright as any sun,
With four and twenty windows
And a woman's face in ev'ry one.
Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
With a soulful, bounding leap,
And, foaming at the mouth,
He began to make his midnight creep.
For sixteen nights and days he raved,
But on the seventeenth he burst
Into the arms of Judas Priest,
Which is where he died of thirst.
No one tried to say a thing
When they took him out in jest,
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
Who carried him to rest.
And he just walked along, alone,
With his guilt so well concealed,
And muttered underneath his breath,
"Nothing is revealed."
Well, the moral of the story,
The moral of this song,
Is simply that one should never be
Where one does not belong.
So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin',
Help him with his load,
And don't go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road.

No, we are spending OUR money to inform YOU
Well at least that confirms the government is working on it and I'm not making the whole thing up…we are making progress.
Would that be FEMA, because I had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of those folks over the years #61516;
Or maybe one of the other Bush administration agencies…I’m sure they are all sharp people, who have everything under control. #61514;
Funny how people either feel they should panic or do nothing…humm, anyway, I’m not shitting myself either, but let’s say…just for sake of conversation, that your friend had a little too much exposure to H5N1 and got sick with it and actually shit himself…all over the kitchen floor. How would you disinfect the area…what would you use? If you decided to keep him at home with you instead of sending him to a hospital warehouse where there would be one doctor for every 50 people showing up for treatment, (a lot of whom may not even have the Bird Flu until they get around all those others who do), how would you isolate him and keep yourself and others virus free?
I don’t think you have any idea what the answers to these questions are and you probably don’t even think you need to know those answers, but you do.
If this thing strike, what you know or don’t know before it gets here will probably determine your survival. Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Levitt said on a recent interview that what you do in the 100 hours before a Pandemic is a lot more important than what you do in the first 4 or 5 hours after one starts and he urged everyone to make preparations.
That’s the purpose of this thread and others. Outside of assurances from people in the Bush administration that they are working on it, no one is saying they will take care of you or actually telling you how to take care of yourself in a Pandemic…day-to-day.
On most of the other threads, we spend time putting out information. On a few threads like this, we spend time reading post from people who rant and rave and want others to kill themselves and love the word FU#K
But its ok…because you have people like me, who don’t force anyone to even read a thread, never less respond to it, but will GIVE you answers if you want them.
That would be the British Government (I always marvel at the arrogance of some people who do believe the world starts and ends with them and theirs) so nothing to do with the Bush administration, at all. In fact to the best of my knowledge you haven't even had a single case of the normal variant of avian flu over there yet. So easy tiger.
As for your comment on panic here your tone is directed to incite exactly that. Hospital warehouses and shit all over the floor, I mean really. Personally, I would know what to do but I would imagine most rational sensible people if they suspected someone they had contact with was suffering something potentially shit scary would alert the authorities at the earliest possible opportunity and recieve guidance from them. Sensible people, you credit us with very little sense mister Lee. The virus hasn't even mutated and you're talking up the fear.
Spending your money by educating us poor silly people right. What a waste of fucking money this is then, as no one is payng attention. Have you ever considered teaching as an alternative career pathway, if so I'd suggest you abandon that one because you wold be terrible. Nobody responds to insults and patronisation. What we do before the pandemic, reading through I see nothing useful in your posts. Bird Flu is coming, blah blah, tamiflu, blah blah, internet link, blah blah. If your government is pissing away money by sending you to music sites to get on peoples tits I'd worry for the sanity of the government. Although it looks like you're working for a different group by your tone, I'm guessing a medical company which would explain the fear tactics, anything to get the drugs off the shelves hmm? Sales on face masks down? Need to shift more units of disinfectant?
In a pandemic situation, what do you envisage mister Lee? are you expecting some sort of black death everyone in face masks and isolation suits scenario? I think maybe you have been watching a little too much late night sci fi.
