Just so that ya'll are aware that we ARE getting some help from "Bob" at SI. I've been complaining about the harassing posts from the temps and, well..... Rich To: Dixie7777 (who wrote...) From: SI Admin Tuesday, Jul 7 1998 3:04PM ET Thanks for pointing that one out to me! I'd deleted one of his messages earlier and banned the account, but didn't catch the other two messages. I think I had to deal with about 10 such accounts so far today. Because I anticipated such a problem with these particular threads (now, why would I anticipate that? <g>), I was already reading many of the trial-member posts. And participants such as yourself and others have pointed out ones I might've otherwise missed. In a way, I'm very, very glad that Brad put in a new feature to allow certain threads to become off-limit to trial members, but in another way, I was getting a kind of twisted enjoyment out of knowing that with a couple of mouse-clicks, I was negating far more work on the harrassers' part. It's almost unfair. <g> They have to create a bogus email address somewhere, create their bogus SI account by going through all the screens, typing in the email address, later typing in the 4-digit code, then write their messages. I, on the other hand, have only to click the "Delete" button, click their name, then click the "Ban" button. Reminds me of a game I play with my 9-year old daughter where she says something over and over again, such as "Can we go for a motorcycle ride now?" and my response (over and over again) is "nope". Even she eventually figures out she's putting more effort into a futile cause than I am. :) In short, to use a local colloquialism, we're "all over it", so hopefully people will wait a bit to see if we've run across one of the problems before inundating Jill and myself with email. Regards, SI Admin (Bob)
