    I would like to politely ask if you would disable the links against accidental clicks. Might as well not send free traffic their way.

    thx,

    Funny how some of us are never targeted by PM spam.

    Wonder if we are small fish. :(

    You would think with how much I am on here I would get a few but I have never even received one Spam PM. (Except Weir forwarding me some as a joke)

    Could it be a case of alphabet nurosis? TommyD and yfs1 are toward end of alphabet. Bet both of you have had the experience of sitting on last row in school as have I.

    Oops so much for that conjecture. Well is it based on green? Maybe the more green spammers see the more knowedgeable a person appears and less likely to fall for spam.

    It is probably just random. Most appear to be blocked before they get very far. Thank heavens. Thank you Shawn.

    Hmmm...Maybe it wasn't you then. I mentioned in some thread a few months ago that I hadn't gotten any Spam PM so someone started forwarding theirs to me.

    I thought it was you but my memory must be pretty bad .. lol
