Private Message - Spam

Here is an excerpted portion of the message:

What is the point of this? What does "Jeannette" hope to accomplish? There must be some "angle" to sending this out.

One problem with having this new Forum software is that it is popular and so the spammers figure out how to explot it. I haven't got them myself, but will see what I find.

There is always something.

Sorry, but was in Vegas and it took me a day or two to research who and how to ban and delete her crap.
