Hi,  
Everything that I’m trying to say about myself, your internal algorithm tells me that it’s spam.  
Anyway, I’ll try it again later & glad to be on this forum.  
John

Welcome, John. Yeah, the spam filter we had to install seems to catch about half the spam and a quarter of normal postings. Some have said it has a mind of its own, but my feeling is that if that’s so, then the program is in need of psychiatric counseling. 🙂 You might try rewording what you were trying to post to see if that works. It’s particularly hard on first time posts so you may respond to a few of the other threads then try again.

Welcome John. The spam filter even catches us old timers at times. Please try to post what you want to say.
