Corin spammed five times in a row to get the Precious, so isn't that also a funkle? It seems to me that the line between spamming and funkling becomes very fuzzy at this point. . .

The difference is that a funkle is a person posting real posts, substantive replies, where no one else is on the thread to break up the replies.... in the extreme, it looks like you are all alone and no one will talk to you.

Spam, whether unique posts or not, are garbage posts the are only seeking a silly post number.

Oh, you mean like when I post! Okay, I've got it now :)
