Uh, duh, yep, that's a really common scenario isn't it?

Now then, where does most spam originate from? The Phillipines, Korea and China.

Well there's a thing eh?

Ian has extensive spam filters set up on the forum which stops the greater majority getting through but there will always be a few who slip the net.

The USA is #1, followed by China, then Russia, UK & Germany.

We are 4th on the list, so maybe he does reside in the UK.

The forum/comment spammer "hall of fame" list might look a bit different... Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, China, the Philippines, India, Pakistan... something like that.

Well i'd say this thread has run its course now....

..and as the IP from the OP is on a known spammers database, the obvious course of action is to be taken.

Closed.
