There is a registered site member 'serj' (with email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- hmmm). There is therefore a Members/serj/ path but it has no content such as the URL-targets - no content at all, in fact. And there no indication I can see that content has come and gone, although I could be wrong on that.
Anyway, I think it is reasonable to remove user serj (considering the email address) -- any objections?
*BUT* how can that really do any good at preventing circulation of false URLs?
Did the spam report include any email headers? Regards ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
