In regards to spam - we try to remove it as fast as we find it! Sorry for the inconvience it causes.
You can help us by reporting it. Just use the yellow triangle sign found on the lower right of any thread you open. By clicking the yellow trianlge it generates a e-mail response that goes to all Moderators and Admins of HNI. That way ,if one of us is gone - which has been my case lately as I hunt - soemone will remove it.
Thanks for yor patience and understanding
