...which you probably shouldn't have replied to.

By a "user" who joined today {well, yesterday, now}

... and whose name ends in "bot". Well, at least it's honest in one way.

Thought there was a report function.

There was an admiral who once famously said:

"It's a trap!"

There is. It's the little exclamation-mark icon just to the left of the "Quote" icon.

I hit it, as soon as I saw the spam posting, and the forum software said that the posting had already been reported... somebody else got there first.

So, it's now up to Bookworm or one of the other moderators to erase the whole thread (If they can, now that people have responded to it).

I didn't have that as an option, so I did a link of the post and member id to Bookworm.

Something seems to have worked... the thread remains but I'm not seeing the original spam posting at the top of it. Apparently it has been nuked from orbit.

It was the only way to be sure. (Sorry, a little buzzed from this screwdriver...)

Well, now, without the original post, my own post takes on a whole new meaning...
