ROFLMAO - Are you going to have spend huge man hours with individually deleting hundreds of these spammers. I often wondered whether RB made money from this stuff or just don't have the resources. Not being a programmer, I don't know if it's possible to make a filtering program to recognize the computer generated names that post a couple of times. Those who spam RB seem to have it down to a science. I also wondered who would go to their websites. The posts all have a familiar pattern and I click right by them as soon as I see them. Some people waste their time respondging, not knowing that the name was created for a single or double quick post and there is nobody there who will be insulted by the responder.

Hi Dave, re: After deleting one of your basic African scam letters from another thread today, you'd have thought that I'd made off with the Bill of Rights in the dark of night, judging by the Orwellian reaction of one or two really paranoid people. Yup, those folks are, ummm, "different". I guess it is good that we aren't all alike <VBG>. If it helps, it seems that I managed to catch the brunt of their vitriol ... water off a duck! greg.

Dave in trying to access SI homepage siliconinvestor.com .... what does it mean when someone witha free account get's this Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off". <!-- Web.Config Configuration File --> <configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web> </configuration> Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL. <!-- Web.Config Configuration File --> <configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web> </configuration> Thanks Kastel
