Hi Otis,

FWIW,

# host -t mx blackchip.plus.com 
blackchip.plus.com  mail is handled by 10 
mx.avasin.plus.net .

the mail is being handled by a valid host, it seems.

Frankly,

I shall do the admin bit and give Richard write access. The only problem

So he won't be getting emails telling him of his passwords etc. Are you

Thanks again.

Hi Norman,

I'd be confident its him.. Hes been quite active on the "Sinclair QL for
everyone" group on Facebook I admin lately, and it's definitely him on
there.

[Ql-Users] Richard Alexander (CGH Services) and the QL Wiki

[Norman Dunbar via Ql-Users]

I've had a request from someone claiming to be Richard Alexander of CGH 
Services fame, to join the Ql Wiki.


Since I have had a number of spamming users to deal with recently, I 
tend to try and do as much background checking as I can before I assign 
write privileges. However, I've come up against a slight problem, and 
maybe someone here (or on the QL Forum) can help.


The request came from an IP address in Carmarthenshire in Wales on the 
9th January at 00:57 (I'm assuming GMT/UTC here but I might be wrong).


The email address used to register is in the blackchip.plus.com domain 
and this is where my problem begins. I've checked for the domain 
"blackchip.plus.com" and come up with nothing.


Does anyone know Richard? Do you know if he is indeed 
"blackchip.plus.com"? And why is the email address wonky?


I hate the idea that I'm holding up a genuine QL fan, but I also had to 
deal with a few uncircumcised gentlemen (complete pricks) recently, 
signing up and spamming pages with garbage and adverts and scams. 
Someone, me, had to remove those pages and reinstate the unadulterated ones.


Any information gratefully received and if you *are* the real Richard 
Alexander, my apologies!



Cheers,
Norm.
