    Last night we were hit by a mass of spam registrations. This usually means a robot has figured out our anti-spam questions. I have changed them this morning, but unfortunately don't have time to figure or which of the many new registrations are genuine. So I have deleted most of the new registrations made over the last 48 hours.

    This means that if you registered as a member here over the last day or two, you'll probably need to do so all over again.

    I do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Best wishes,

    Why would anyone do that? What a waste of space.
