        The only logical alternative to the first "No" I have gone for abuse.

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          ;P Look like there are lots of them being injected into the system. I'm estimating it in the range of 1000+ and still growing

            Look like the adversaries are up to something no good and setting up for a mass spam/disruption with (1000++) fake accounts.
