Ah, well. I changed the present / future but I can't delete or rewrite the past (and nor can anyone else, here or elsewhere). I've compromised by locking and archiving EOTW, and with a 'Day 1' amnesty.

I can't force others to compromise.

Poor English, very low security password and the fact my PC doesn't have a webcam - as well as the fact my porn viewing days are pretty much consigned to the dustbin of history :grin: - led me to conclude this was a scam. Bless 'em for trying though. :)

I keep getting those too, and I've not got a webcam either. I mean, obviously I don't look at porn, either... obviously. :lol:

Can't tell you guys how much it gladdens my heart to find that not only are we brothers in our fondness for NVA, but 'not' watching porn too. :)
