| I don't see it has anything to do with security; someone has registered, and then started entering Spam into the Personal Message box.Stick a message in the Spam thread and a MOD can lock that account.Graz probably has a query that checks for high numbers of PM's sent, or PM's sent by newly registered members ... |

| So you didn't get one this time, nor me. They may be working their way through the list. Worth having a DB query to spot them I reckon - but I expect Graz already has one. |

There is hope, there is blind hope, then if he gets in again, there is the 'bugger this, i'm emigrating..' |

"HE'S NOT THE PRIME MINISTER - HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY!!!!!"Great sketch that; brightened my day being reminded of that, ta.The trouble is, whoever you vote for, the government always gets in  I want someone who gets on and does something. I don't much care what direction they head off in, provided they are single minded about it and can turn round, when they get there, and everyone can see what they've done along the way.Of late all that there is to see is all the hot air and publicising of this & that.Obama doesn't seem to be fairing much better on that score, sadly, although I still live in hope that he will find a way to "achieve" rather than just allow himself to get bogged-down. |

| If you work with the very plausible assumption that virtually everything the government does will eventually make your life worse, then the ideal would be having someone in charge who fails to "achieve".Fails to start a new war, fails to raise taxes, fails to increase spending, fails to run up the debt, fails to setup new agencies to spy on us, etc.CODO ERGO SUM |

| His account is now locked. There was some security around new members sending messages but I don't remember what it was. I can't remember if it was post count or duration of membership. In any case I'll look into it. If you get any other opportunities that are too good to pass up please post the member name of the person that sent them in the spam thread.=================================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.
