Admin, please take a look at the new members over the last 48 hours. Lots of spam and advertisers. Someone is running a bot to create accounts.

Maybe I am a cruel person but just once I would like to find one of these morons that creates these programs and sends them out. Roll them in Razor wire with a long rope tied to a horse and give it a good slap. Sit down in my chair, pull out a good cigar and some nice whiskey and watch the show.

I'm a new member. Been reading the site for awhile. On my first project and wanted to post a question but the site won't let me post until I have submitted a reply for review? Wasn't sure what to do…I know I shouldn't be giving any advice to anyone at this point. Maybe it's because of the spam?

I have often visited the websites that spammers are spamming and bombed them with ridiculously stupid questions and requests.

This one time a spammer registered on a forum trying to sell vitamins, protein shakes, generic viagra, pills for boosting brain function and other crap like that. I went to their website and you could chat live with a sales person. So I spent like an hour of this guys time asking stupid crap like "Do you have any pills that can make my brother less annoying?"

Emma - i like to have fun with people that call the house looking for money. Mostly from my wifes alma mater. If you wanna have a good chuckle when they ask for so and so i like to respond, "Ohh you probably wont hear from her for a while, she was just sent off to prison". I usually have a hard time holding off the laughter but i really like to hear the responses i get.

It's always fun to try and sell something to the telemarketer, like a 1972 Lazyboy recliner with costume duct tape upholstery.

"Just 3 easy payments of $19.95" But, wait! act now and we'll through in a collection of vintage beer bottle caps and a ping pong paddle!"

I'm not sure if I can post anywhere, I posted early this morning and cannot post again, (in red it says) until my first post has been reviewed and ok'd.
Another post here on LJ suggested the connecting rods need to be checked for parallel with a flat plate, if out then loosed and adjust the rods before the trunnion assembly will line up properly. I'll try that tomorrow.
