Greetings, All!
As most of you now realize, we are once again in late summer spam-posting season. All are designed in some way to hook eyes and generate a response. Please ignore it if you can and definitely do NOT click on any links in the posts! I will continue to ban the posters by all means and delete the posts as quickly as I can. I will be adjusting filters as well.
I must ask your forebearance as there may be some brief delays in my spam removal efforts for as much as a couple days at at a time. I will be undergoing surgery 05 September to FINALLY correct a comprehensive pre-birth defect I have struggled with the whole of my life. I will be in hospital and guest house for 4 weeks but only a couple days away from phone, laptop, and Forum so should be back up and running soonest on my Admin duties.
For those who are curious, I was a DES (Dietylstilbestrol) Baby, result of an anti-miscarriage drug prescribed to my at-risk mother with best intent by her doctors in high doses for all nine months she carried me to term in 1960. Much like Thalidomide, the drug has since been largely banned for the intergenerational physical and genetic (900+) mutations it can cause. It seems I hit the jackpot for both and in the last several years they have become potentially life-threatening. The intent is to fix the remaining physical aspects insofar as possible and compensate for the genetic ones. There will be some physiotherapy to get back in the saddle again at about 3 months; my return to cycling form should progress rapidly from there. I feel good now and should again soon after the dip.
So, if spam begins to appear, please ignore it and know I will get to it as soon as!
All the best, Dan.
