    I have very itchy fingers so I hit the Spam button on this thread and got a message of 5 nanoseconds duration saying 'thanks for reporting, abuse may take a look at the thread if enough people hit the spam button' and the Spam buttom then had a red line on it with the hover messeage 'report this thread if it isn't spam', so I hit that and now the red line is removed.
    What does all this blather mean ?
    My guess: if enough people hit the Spam button on a thread Abuse will have a look and delete it, or not. Saves them having to look at umpteen emails reporting the same spam post.
    The above all made perfect sense when I wrote it :D
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
