Right here for those of us who prefer to converse with each other with
out newsreaders and in the forum for those who like to use browsers to
converse.

We can talk about a particular spamcop report verbose output line by
line by starting with the report's tracking url.  It would be best to
just talk about one or a few lines at a time rather than the entire
verbose output all at one time.

When you submit a report, after the parse a tracking URL appears at the
top.  You can copy that for pasting.  Then you complete the report or
cancel it and you paste the tracking URL or 'tracker' into the
discussion group.  A tracker looks like:
