Hi all,
It has come to my attention, by someone posting a nasty PM to a valued GM member, that we've an issue on the forum. The problem was created by me not realizing I needed to change a setting to 'confirmation email required'. This person signed up with a bogus email and slammed a long-time member, and I won't tolerate that.
So, even though this is inconvenient for you, my valued members, I'm requiring everyone to provide a valid email address if you haven't already. If you're thinking I won't *know*, think again. This little trick *PISSED ME OFF*. No one signs up bogus and slams my people, and if I have to hand-verify every email address, I will. Those of you that may have created 'alter egos', make sure that you have a legal email address behind it. You know who you are.
Sorry about the rant folks, but I dislike greatly being used (even though the hole was open because I missed it - its closed now), and will not allow this sort of crap on GM. If I discover that this bogus poster is someone who is already here, *both* accounts will be banned.
The poster's info is as follows:

I have saved this information, and will be searching out the location to ensure that my email about his attempting to hide his identity gets to him. I will have help in this.
Sorry to sound so venal, but I greatly dislike being used as a pawn.
Thanks for your attention,
