Either somebody thinks I'm cute over the internet or we have a spammer sending PM's. Here's what a member named 'abigail' sent me-

"Hello,
I'm new here and just wanted to say "hi"

How's it going?

Thought one of you moderators might want to know.

I got the same one.
Took one look and thought if I open that puppy,
it will hit my Firewall like a big juicy bug hits the Windshield !

OK...so just HOW are they infiltrating our pm' there Homer :confused: :dunno cookoo
It registered, got approved (didnt look like a typical spam bot) and at that point it was able to send PM's. It has since been banned.
