Hi,
Sorry I've not been around much, plenty of work, much to do on the house,
the setting up of a new business and I've been doing lots of community work.
I should be back around for a while again now!!
Although the weather is glorious, so I'm off out to work in the garden!!!

Anything I should know about??

Hi Graham,

Spam posts are gowing like weeds in newsgroups and forums... maybe you have
some kind of pesticide. If not, don't waste energy trying to respond them
them, as they're digital weeds not deposited by real people.
 
How would I know whether a post is spam or not?

Wikipedia says Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including
most broadcast mediums, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk
messages..

The easiest way to tell is that it's mostly the opening post of a new
thread... 'unsolicited' as opposed to someone responding to help a poster.

On forums it's typically the first post from a new member... something you
can't tell on a newsgroup.

Following the links in Spam posts might get you to good products or
services, or to spyware, adware, or worse.... it's a 'buyer-beware'
situation.

If you know and trust the poster, there's a better chance you're OK than if
you don't.
