Perhaps yahoo needs as big an incentive, as those that keep placing the ad' on a daily basis. Amazing the rapidity with which they keep appearing. The length keeps varying as well. Only give away, the telephone number. Got to hand it to them for sheer inventiveness. Not lacking enterprise that's for sure. But then they have greater motivation.so that probably helps. In the grand scheme of things, they are a mere nuisance. Irritating, for sure, but not as much submit the answer and being told 'oops', because something has gone wrong or the question has been deleted, or the asker being too impatient has decided to re-ask the question. That is far more irksome.

Look at the spam filter in your own email program. It's not 100% foolproof is it? Besides, writing algorithms to filter text is a lot harder than you think. If you look at the results from SpamAssasin they score it depending on a number of different tests.
Spammers will always find a way through. Be glad you don't see more of it.
