    It should have been better publicised - banner across the top or something.
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    Had no idea they were shutting down either. I notice that whatever it was they were doing wasn't a fix to stop the spam either! Me thinks it's time they recruited a new IT team! :spam:
