I have looked at the membership list to see who lives in my locality. Whilst doing so i noted that there are many - adverts placed and what appear to be non members placed on the list within the last week of so. Is this correct, or have they all got through a screening process?

Hi Paul,
thanks for your concern. These Spammers hit me at a rate of about 40-50 per day. They are NOT active. I clear them out when I can summon up enough will power to do so. Each has to be removed manually and individually. I usually fortify myself before embarking on the labour
Why? is the big question.. I think it is something to do with frequency of searches for this site. Sites with traffic over a ertain volume act like magnets to the SPAMBOTS.
So we are a cyberage victim our the site's own success... ce la guerre

Yep it's not easy keeping them out. The SESWC forum has been hit a lot in the last week.

Dale was on the phone the other night giving me a few tips about working online, web, fora, you know that kind of stuff. He's really tip top on the IT front
That's right Dale isn't it?

I don't think Dale is his real name. Have you ever noticed that it's an anagram of Lead !

I don't think the Dale posting here on the internet is the real Dale I think he's been absconded by Aliens and an imposter put in his place
Before we know it this imposter will soon be saying that the French Old Guard weren't really that good. That's when we'll know if he's real or not.
Cheers
Dave
