What sort of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

Have you noticed that most of the spam here contains this address somewhere? - http://forums-test.mozillazine.org/

It opens and seems to be a shadow copy of the real forum. As I recall, that 'test' forum was used only once for real and that was a dozen+ years ago.

If we actually had an admin, that spam loophole could probably be closed. Well, we do have an admin, who as recently as November 20th found time to post again on his Twitter account, I mean we just don't have 'an active admin', if you see what I mean.

Think yourself lucky that you missed it. It was fierce stuff.

Here's a vid of Mrs Doyle, just after she read the spam here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogrfAgbIfFo
