Hi Kiwi ! I started the same thread on all the forums where I am a member. I thought of doing this as an experiment to see what kind of responses I get from which forum.

No, I am not planning to write any book etc.

Based on all the responses that I have got, it seems that the best way would be to use MS OneNote + a good bookmark manager + mind map. This combination will help a lot in keeping all the data well sorted.

I have realized that if you post the same question on multiple forums, then the probability of getting a better solution increases. You get to see the views of many different kind of members.

Please tell me clearly if you felt bad/irritated because of seeing the same question everywhere ! If it is something which goes against Netiquette or forum rules, then I will think twice before repeating such exercise. Otherwise I might follow it in future also.

Thanks for your reply.

PS: Traderji is a site devoted to Indian Traders. But it is suffering heavily from Spam problem. Almost 99 % posts are pure garbage there. Tlab has got much better quality.

Not significantly irritated. I just wondered because I saw it on et and in a moment of boredom decided to google it.

Personally I just have large files of stuff by year and go back occasionally to seek inspiration or horror at what I once found interesting.

------Spam Alert ------ !

a member by the name of guybell is sending this PM --

Hi,

Please excuse my intrusion but I just want to ask if you are actively trading penny stocks? If you are, I would like to share this piece of information.

I have been following this newsletter and it really amazed me to see that most of their stock picks really win. In fact, I tried it and so far so good for me. 25 wins and 1 loss with 300% gainers. This daily newsletter is focused on long-term growth, value, and income-generating stock investments.

If this interest you, do join by signing up here [[URL deleted by Admin]]

Thanks and regards.
The link leads to a site which asks you to sign up for a newsletter

I copied the PM here just to know if other members inboxes are also being spammed.

Moving the spam from a private location (a PM) to a public one (a forum) is about the best thing you can do for the spammer. Just report it to the admin and move on, you have given it 'life'. Best thing you can do is edit the original spam out of your message.

the spammers getting anti spammers to add to the spam, fantastic!
Sort of like buying a T-shirt with a massive slogan on it and then walking around as a billboard.
Did you read about the guy who was trying to be the most spammed person in the world? I think he turned out to be pretty disappointed with the result.

I want to edit my post now and want to delete that spam message. But I do not see an edit button at the bottom ! Am I not allowed to edit my own posts ! How do I delete or edit that message now. I dint realize earlier that I would be helping the spammer this way.

In future just don't include the spam address.

In current time you can hit the report post button and request that a mod remove the url for the spam. I have done that.
