Mike,

jerry0503222 is indeed a clever spam bot. It is copying what members have posted earlier in the thread, and posting what is copied as it's own.

All this just to sell purses on a jet engine forum.

Yeah and it's annoying as shit. I though this forum had a "clever" question to prevent spambots. maybe re-capcha would be an idea?

Sorry, asleep at the switch again. Been a week convalescing shoulder surgery. No need to wrap threads around these guys. Then I've got to delete the thread and the spam poster. Still less work than evaluating all the new users...
Mike Often wrong, never unsure.

hmmm ... this thread has become sb² or spam bot bait. :wink:

I guess I'm just out "trolling" as watermen say.
