    I doubt you have one single molecule of a clue what the people employed and contracted by Adobe know or don't know, Phil.

    But you go ahead and keep thinking you do know, and posit your theories here, if that makes you happy.

    I know it makes me chuckle a little.

    I doubt very few at adobe even knows anything about the system much less being inclined to fix it.

    not that spammer == hacker, but it may or may not be wise to visit that site on your own and start harassing people... my advice is to let adobe deal with it, if they're so inclined.

    numbnuts like deneme, whose post I just deleted, and set to read-only, so he can see that it just ain't worth while, are all part of the clan coming from over there, and likely other similar places. Feel free to go to that forum and give them some crap for all of us.

    generally just scroll over the text and see whether the cursor changes. I have it easy... I have an edit button on all posts. You guys could take a peek at the source code... or use a newsreader... they see it really clearly. dexp

    I went to the forum and they are talking about how links are quickly spotted and removed! Thanks to all you eagle-eyed folks that help to keep things relatively clean around here!
