What's with the blue letters? Is that a code? Is it consciously subliminal? Are we being watched? Where are we?
Well, then

They're links to something, probably an inimical something for your computer. Be careful when you do it, but if you pass your cursor over them, you can see the link addresses along the bottom of your IE browser. Not sure if it's the same on other browsers. Do NOT(!!!!) click on one.

Could one of our administrators please delete this piece of drek?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

You mean he/she doesn't really find us entertaining and doesn't really want to be our friend?

The same (or slightly varied) message with imbedded links has been posted on 917 forums or blogs, according to a Google search for the key word in the link.

Oh, yes. I didn't even notice the blue letters the first time I read it.

I know we want our moderators to keep a fairly hands-off approach, but I agree that this is one entry that should be deleted with extreme prejudice.

I agree - the links are to a site called "analfinder" and I'm pretty sure it's not somewhere I would want to go. Please, Mr. Administrator, please, get rid of this message.

That keyword seems to indicate that our friend needs both hands, a mouse AND an Internet search to find his/hers.

Thanks, Bob!

Should we delete his name from our member list, too?

The safer way to accomplish this is to apply the quote option. --Bob
