    The only person to post should be the first to spot it, just to say it's been reported and please do not post below.

    I agree - but with one change...

    Post a reply to spam only if you've actually reported it as spam. Everyone else sees the second post and prompty ignores the thread. This should ensure that only one reply is actually made to idiotic pyramid scheme threads and the like!!
    Never attach your ego to your position....
