Jon Krup reminded me that you can click on a url related to a new bbs user even before I approve them.  I usually get several new "bbs users" each day and I have to go in and "activate" each new user and end up deleting nine out of ten as they are mostly robot-generated spam accounts.  I don't always get around to doing that for one to several days so PLEASE do not inquire or communicate with new users until they actually post on the bbs.  Often, their "website" links point to a virus source.

Consider them forty steps below a brand-new mess-crank non-qual puke!  (and all will be well...)

Would that be around a Motorcycle riding, half-breed Marine's level? Or that of a Maineiac that seems to prefer trains? Looking for a layer to get under.

That description is more like a displaced "New Yawker" in the witness protection program in the deep woods of a southern state where peanuts abound.
