Basically, how do you finish drywall? Tape, mud, sand, etc. How long to
wait between coats?


In case people haven't gleaned onto what the homedespair web site is
doing, they're posting ridiculously simple and incomplete questions,
verbiage indicating numerous questions posted from somone who is
changing their screenname, in an effort to get lots of responses so
they can get more click throughs and earn more money.

In other words, if you answer their questions, you are helping a
spammer earn money. I kind of thought that was against the whole idea
of Usenet.

Additionally, what person would give themselves a screenname like
"drywaller" and have _no_ idea on how to tape and spackle?

After an absence from a.h.r for a few weeks I came back to find all
these really inane questions with the "posted via" sig. at the bottom.
I realize now that questions from that website are somehow being
redirected here. But how do replies posted to a.h.r help this spammer's
click throughs?
