I don't know who would fall for a message like that, but you never know. As I always say, never underestimate human idiocy Evil

I got it as well. Is it a bot that's spreading across many forums or something?

I think I disabled users with low post counts from sending PM's. Let me know, if not I'll try some more.

I fell for the MannInBlack one (stupid, stupid me). Dumb thing is, the link goes to nowhere. I always get a page load error. My scanner always lets me kno if a virus is attempting from a site, but this does nothing. Is there no point to these messages?

Could be you're browser is blocking the whole page, or is just incompatible.

The odds of there being two bombs on a plane are a million times

So next time you fly, cut the odds and bring a bomb

Point to them the virtue of the slaughter
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.
