Leaky basement I've been confused here lately. The norm seems to be to post new topics rather than reply to old. Archive old threads if they shouldn't be replied to. Sigh.

The mods will sort it out - it's their job and they get paid the BIG BUCKS for it. We've definitely had an influx of spam lately. There's some good stuff in old threads, sometimes people forget to check the last post date. __________________ If I could only remember to THINK about what I was doing before I did it.

He hasn't bothered to go anywhere else and offer any help to anyone on anything that isn't selling his product. I would say this is SPAM and should be be deleted.
