All I have just noticed what I consider to be a feeble attempt to boost (as in its search engine ranking) an IT Q&A site by commenting against articles hosted on CP. The links are coming from a user called DasRobin and are pointing to www dot itpian dot com It seems odd that the user has been inactive for 2+ years and then has posted 6/7 of his questions in the past 2 weeks 5/7 in the last 24 hours - account hijack perhaps? Regards Shaun
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. - pTerry

Happy Thanksgiving to all of Canada! We serve turkey and Budweiser here; I suppose y'all serve baby harp seal and Moosehead up there. Got any recipes? I expect it's not much different from possum, 'cept nobody I know wears possum fur. Maybe we could swap - I know some purty good spotted owl dishes, too. :-D

:laugh: Just because most of your friends wear fur coats and are fond of alfalfa pellets, that's no reason to hide in the closet. ;)

Hi Chris example is http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/datagridcheckbox.aspx?msg=3625928#xx3625928xx The user is Das Robin (not DasRobin as I put previously) - it just seems odd behaviour for that user and that the sites point to a poor quality site it just seems wrong to let it pass Shaun
