Linky

If it's a thread to a common problem, usually it gets attached to a more relevant thread.

lesily and osboren are spammers. we've been getting this a lot lately... one account will get registered and ask a false question, and then a second one will get registered (usually within the same CIDR block) and paste a link to a windows software package. so, the whole thread got thrown out and both users banned.

cheers
