Do people check back on peoples 50 post to see ooh hes a nice lad (or lass) etc. Personally I wouldn't trust someone unless I had bunch of real contact details, cross checked against a trust rating, and they has about 200+ posts. But thats just me. I don't go back through 200 posts though. Thats a little bit mad in fairness even for 50 posts. I reckon you just made that up.

Well I'm up for a bit of that if you are offering : ) Bit of P4EE goodness wouldn't go amiss. My 386 SX is starting to struggle with 3D mark 2003. The value Hexus gets from he users is their posts. Its a two way deal. As for security having a limit of 50 posts is like a bullet proof vest made of glass. Any idiot should be able to see right through it. (and yes I did just make that up). Sorry but I'm meant to be working.
