I removed it for you Grumps.
Saw the dup just before you tried to delete it.

Was it due to Our George or do you have a sticky Enter key?

@Limpet - Something appeared to be stalled/stopped when making the original post.
Delete key tried once and went nowhere.
Several deep clearing of cache didn't help but delete key was gone from display but post still on display after additional location changes and cache clearing.
Weird. 8-[

Hi Grumps,
Yep. I noticed that certain pages load very slowly, occasionally.
Noticeably when I'm trying to modify a "villain's" Profile.
Put it down to a tad more activity on the forum servers.
Dunno?

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

there was a new account spam post attempt (besides the two recent attempts before that) in thread about apks and the email on this Shown account came back as a spammer. Occasionally we get the somewhat innocent looking posts only to have the post later be edited with spam.
