I think I got rid of the spamtification problems. This group is loosely moderated by moi, but sometimes the spammers get by. I try to check the post but I'm...
Just a suggestion - the way I run my lists, I moderate the first post of all new members. Spams seldom, if ever get through - those that do are unintentional...
Thanks Mike, I'll try to be a little more vigilant. Seems to me this kind of stuff runs in cycles. Reminds me of a Billy Preston song, God Rest His Soul! ...
Hello Dian- I have restored quite a number of trunks, and they are far more work-intensive than really realistic. After a few 'too far gone' restorations, I...
