You know, I tried...
I really tried on this one.
I tried to prove that the various smoking hot young ladies trying to get me to watch them take off their scant underthings on the Internet were in fact poorly programmed robots coded by third-world binary jockeys putting in the minimum amount of effort to collect their Rubles, or Rupees, or Renminbi, whatever.
I went back and forth with a number of suspected robots and even went rounds with a particularly troublesome young piece of BASIC who really wanted my attention.
I tried to figure out keywords in the hopes of eventually coaxing a terminus URL from the bots in three simple triggers, but then something horrible happened...
I got bored.
I got really bored with going back and forth with these bots.
So, I can't really claim any kind of completion on this Praxis, but I can share with you the sour fruits of my labor.
Perhaps in the hopes that one of you will take this baton and finish the race.
Excelsior.

Look, I really did have grand plans for this, but then I just wanted to light my laptop on fire.

I think the trick to this task has to be picking out the right spammer.

I worked this one for a long time too. What I have is a collection of junk email. I have something that I am going to post but it is lame.

i appreciate your dedication, and hats. Man, what is it with robots and clothing? Why do they think that we think that only humans can wear clothing and have facial hair? That is like robot rookie mistake #1.
I like this. You tried, and you told us, which is so much more then most people do.
I'm sorry this made you want to light your laptop on fire. I hope the next task you do makes you happier so you stay with us, because I like having you around.
