I think we should have a note up the top of the Introductions forum telling to create your own intro and not to post in others intros etc. One example: (Not trying to intimidate the member) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic137099.html Regards, David.

I am not sure that having a note about this would be of much help, and it is quite easy to include both posters in a welcome reply.

Which by the way is not a rampant issue. One of the moderators can split the post off into it's own post and address the issue. I don't feel it's a major enough issue to warrant cluttering up the forum with more 'notes'. However we do thank you for the thought and contribution of your idea. -------------------- The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
