You say it takes Google 6 weeks to act, yet the life-span of the spam
is a couple of days.  See the problem now?

In my experience, Google has never done a thing to curb spam.  In some

Google is the new evil.  Just as MS decided how people were to use

people are to use The Internet, and is forcing that model on all their
users.  Argh.
