I don't see any spam there - I edited the message and there is nothing hidden either.
I think it's just a reply to a chunk of code he found useful, rather than anything that needs reporting.

Thanks , I've just been looking for info about this subject for a while and yours is the best I have
found out till now. But, what in regards to the bottom line?

Are you certain about the source? viagra generic

A comment posted as a solution to a question from 2017. But unless "viagra generic" is a standard greeting in Malaysia, this is almost certainly going to be edited later to add the spam link. Laugh | :laugh:
