Sorry to those of you who tried to get onto the forum earlier this morning, the spammers had a field day it took me ages to clear them  and I sure that my fellow moderators were zapping them as well .

It’s a bit like playing a old style shooting game, hit one and smile . Pity when we ban one post it doesn’t remove the rest of the posts by the same person, that would make it so much easier and faster.

You must have squished most of them before I got around to it Paul - I did notice some big gaps in the comment headings.  Did you see the one offering potassium cyanide?   I wish this shower would order some of that for themselves, and try it as a mouthwash...

May I add a word of thanks to the moderators who remove that rubbish from the forum.  You all do a sterling job.  Thank you.

While we're all doing it for our own benefit as well, I'm sure we'll all be grateful for words of praise - thank you.

Teapots now!  A long post advertising teapots......  Now, Mr Teapot: let me teach you something about advertising on someone else's site - they expect to be paid for it; they deserve to be paid for it; advertising is the principal means by which the site is financed - your taking the liberty of splashing your advertisement on an open forum, especially when it hardly relates, even tangentially, to the forum's purpose and reason for its existence, is, in colloquial English which may not translate too well into your language but I'm sure you'll get the point, a bloody cheek.
