It has been rather an interesting night. Earlier in the evening someone tried to hijack the Shout Box, by posting under the names of regular users, including myself.
To give you an idea of how inexperienced these people are, they failed to realise that not only do I track IP addresses, but when I post, I am specially marked as administrator. Hard to believe that someone posting from an IP address that was traced to just north of Skipton, could possibly be someone posting from Sydney.
Ah well, an abuse report has gone of to the both the Shout Box host, and to the offenders ISP.
Always someone who has to spoil things - but I guess when you are trying and failing to defend the indefensible, you resort to desperate measures.
Then again, it was that sort of day. At my local bakery a little boy standing behind me tapped my leg with a stick. When I turned around he told me, "I hate people like you. People like you irritate me". What the heck that was all about I have no idea. His mum laughed and apologised and I gave him one of my "looks". Luckily for him I had my teeth in!
Wherever you may be - be safe
