That's the only way to buy that stuff, if you feel you must buy it at all. S/H costs are all insanely inflated when you order by phone and I have to read out piles of stupid upsells following rigid scripts with some of the most annoying wording I've ever seen.

Seriously... can we do something about the spam in the Flamer's Corner forum?  I'd be in favour of just deleting that forum if it would cut out all the spam.

I'm with BizB.  I really like the idea of a place to rant and rave, but the spammers are driving me batty.

And another thing...when the spam threads contain nudity, could someone please remove the pictures or rename the thread with a NSFW indicator?  This is the second time that I've unexpectedly come across naked boobies while at work.  Not cool.

They're gone. I hadn't gotten here early enough, and apparently none of the other mods had, either. I know Demo's on vacation.

I pop in here all the time; 24/7 , since I have no resemblance of circadian rhythm left after five years on night shift. I would be happy to blast the spammers on sight. *ahem*.  :-)

Any chance we can get the search function fixed? As I understand it, the problem is probably caused by pspell not being installed or not having the proper dictionaries setup which causes problems with the spell check feature (which doesn't work). Disabling spell check should fix search.

I'm always reluctant to post things not knowing if they've already been posted before I joined.

The search function is slow/doesn't work.
