Speaking of spammers - the old Albanians are migrating to some exotic locations - Cuba was the last one. That's going to make for some interesting family searches for them in generations to come!

In case anyone is confused by Frances' comment

she is referring to the fact that many of the spammers are designated as having Albanian as their board language. We think this is because it is at the beginning of the alphabet and that the spam "robots"... or whatever they are

by default end up with that "choice". We are always wondering what will happen if a real Albanian tries to sign up and we assume it is a spammer

Cheers,
Sarah

Thanks for clarifying my ramblings, Sarah.

I've been bouncing all over the place and forgot where I was! Seems to be happening with alarming frequency ...

Considering I just approved the membership of TS's 2995th member

My best guess is # 3,000 will be joining up on 10 Feb.

Marilyn

Hope none of the Admin are sitting there laughing and deleting new members.

Not even a spammer while I was on, Wini!

Although I saw 8 people on the board earlier, so I guess they were all waiting to cheer on the new comer!
