    Wow...your husband is conversant with 'geometric dynamic recrystallization'. Hope that works out for you guys. Let us know.

    Meanwhile: welcome to the Org

    Note: while we appreciate the tip and your enthusiasm, Org policy ( and it's non-profit nature) dictates that we keep such potentially money-making recommendations to a minimum, lest we be accused of selling a product, however worthy, on which our membership could potentially lose actual cash.

    Thanks for your contribution, and: keep coming back! What is your favorite faction?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Is it just me, or does that first post stink from a far. Sorry, but I did not appreciate that "tip" because it seems to me that this would be her first and her last post. Now I realise why they have the junior/member system. This is a good example.

    For a "long time" reader I'm surprised the poster missed the Hail New Members thread if the intention was merely to say "Hi".

    Steady Lads. Remember that we use the principle of charity here. We assume members are who they say they are, until proven otherwise.

    There is no way a 'bot could navigate our (purposely) labyrithine registration process. Heck, I have to help 5 or 6 humans every week.

    So we can safely assume that human fingertips touched the correct keyboard keys several times, landing sonny254 in our midst. It's up to us to provide the same warm welcome we received, and help the newcomer get used to this new "Org" environment - its rules, its procedures, its personality.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I doubt this is a bot. But I do believe this is just a poster wanting to get a few views on their website. You would be surprised at what one would do to spam, to include creating a mule account and posting once claiming they are a "long time viewer".
    Note that the last activity was two days ago.

    EDIT: Note the horrible formatting of the message. Looks copy-and-pasted from another text.

    That was so obviously a web promo.

    I googled it too and came up with hundreds of sites all with the same message in there forums.

    Not that I post too much in the ORG, just seeing that post had me thinking FRAUD. Hubby wants you to buy into an IPO. Sell fast. I am glad that pessimism has its place now and then
