At about 3:30 this morning I read two messages in my email account that reported the odd post as suspected spam.  I didn't recognize the senders' email addresses.  I also couldn't find their screen names in the pellet fan member list so I thought that they were spam to me disregarded them.  Looking back I see that the senders were from the message board provider and that the names of the people reporting the possible spam were in the message body.

Anyway, I think as a global moderator I could have/should have deleted it.  It was a learning experience for me.

A minor excuse—I was online at 3:30 because I couldn't sleep as I was sore and somewhat high on Oxycodone because of a fifth spinal surgery performed the previous day.  I'm still a bit impaired due to the regular Oxycodone doses so please forgive me if I make less sense than normal.

Hope the back feels better...these thing are a minor bump!  The last 2 people I approved I was questioning my decision...their IP addresses checked out.  Should have gone with the gut!

I just open a post that appeared to be spam.  The poster was from Germany and admitted she was a Luker.  The post had to do with healing.  Now I can't find it however thought you should know
