You guys would fail miserably as spammers: failing to circumvent a simple filter... :D

Let's run a trial:

1/ www.dail*****.co.uk (the original text -> will come out garbled)
2/ www.doilymoil.co.uk (replace "o" with "a")
3/ www.deilymeil.co.uk (replace "e" with "a" -> more idiotproof instruction)
4/ www.daily1mail.co.uk (erase the number)
5/ www.dailymai1.co.uk (replace number "1" with "l")
etc., etc., etc.

Can a moderator make this post a sticky? This seems to be an issue that's been brought up every week or so... :p
 
Silly, silly me...

Whatever led me to the erroneous conclusion that this thread (on a trading forum, no less) was about Iceland? How could I be so misguided? I should have realized that all along it was all about spam filters...

DUH!!!!!!
 
I assume you are as happy to learn something new as I am to teach it... Next class' topic will be "Botany of ET - recognizing the difference between the genus Impatiens and the genus Mimosa" :p If you'll pass you can take an advanced topic like "How Angiospermae develop sanguinary attributes". All here, on ET, for you! :D

I can imagine the feelings of love and harmony those coming from the EU will receive investing in their fire sale. :p

I am glad that u are not put off by the ungracious and gratuitous remark to your post on connecting to the link.

there are other solutions to this issue which do not involve computer knowledge. yours,however, is the most direct and elegant.

The Royal Navy can't even avoid getting boarded by a couple of Iranian patrol boats in international waters nowadays, they probably couldn't even take down a single Icelandic trawler without getting sued by some human rights quango. The days of gunboat diplomacy along with rum, sodomy and the lash are well and truly over.
 
Quote from Martinghoul:

I think you need to read a bit more about the EU depositor protection regulations that Iceland agreed to and signed into national law, only to renege when they found that it's too difficult to pay the claims of British and Dutch creditors. Are you suggesting that it's OK for Iceland to avoid taking responsibility for their banks' recklessness that they have been willing to underwrite in the past? The very same President Grimsson was the biggest cheerleader for Icelandic banks during their heyday in 2007. Now that they're bust, he suddenly decides that the people of Iceland are not responsible for their excesses. Convenient, don't you think?

Don't you think it's rather telling that Iceland's Nordic neighbors, the IMF, the Dutch and the Germans are all withdrawing plans to offer emergency loans to Iceland (it's not just the UK that's pissed off, contrary to popular knowledge)?

In my view, this is just Iceland trying to negotiate better terms on the Icesave deal...

What's so hard to understand about this? Greedy ignorant foreign speculators deposited money in Icelandic banks, ignoring the clear risk and balance sheet insolvency that even a blind bat at midnight could see, ignoring their own local banks which had iron-clad domestic deposit insurance guarantees from their own government, for a few extra % in annual yield.

Any time you find something that pays a couple of % more per annum in yield and think you have cleverly outsmarted the market - well, guess what...

This is pure pinko bitching after the fact, woe is me bullshit of the highest order. Some greedy retarded foreign gamblers took stupid risks to make more money for themselves, and when their idiocy was found out, they started crying and now want use violent force to steal money from innocent people who have done no wrong. The depositors trying to get taxpayer money are basically trying to use threat of kidnap, imprisonment and theft of life savings (of Icelandic taxpayers) to fund their own greed. That is a grotesque moral crime and the perpetrators deserve a bullet in the head, just like at the Boston Tea Party.
