Give me a break. I check these forums at least twice or three times a day. I have just spent 45 minutes deleting these spam posts. I deleted 46 of them. They were up for 7 hours. I'm sorry I can't check every single minute, but I don't get paid, and I have a life too.

Lorikeet, I understand and I sympathize. And I am pleased to note you are on the ball.

But it seems that you are being exploited. Shame on Dave. You should not be doing this work for free. Perhaps you should outsource the work to China or India?

Sigh...I deleted 17 more from the same poster; sent him a pm and told him to stop and asked Dave to delete his acccount. Hang in there, I'm hoping he'll get tired and go somewhere else.

Much sympathy to you, and more power to your elbow.

Thanks for your vigilance
