A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Man this has been bad ... I've refrained from posting anything new till this gets resolved ... heck, it'd probably get lost in the spam mess :roll:

...spambots started to send private messages now here at the flowstone forum, at least i got one. the subject was "hallo" (hey what a friendly bot, he´s greating me in my native language!) and the content of the mail was the usual bla bla bla with a link that suggests to be a amazon link, but of course it´s not.
