What is the deletethis about?!

Edit - how odd, this time it has changed to 'take this out'!
Edit2 - LMAO, after edit it has changed back to 'deletethis'

I answered this in the test section, but I'll paste the reply here again:

I think the "DeleteThis" part of your email addy is intentional - it keeps bots from scanning forums looking for valid email addresses ... if a "machine" pulls "walton534543.DeleteThis@gmail.com" - then 'it" gets a mailer error, and saves you from spam. Most of us know to just delete the insert. 8)

Dang, I feel stoooopid!


Steve: Could the part we have to delete be made bold to it is easier to see what needs to go. Also, the inserted text starts with a '.' which is a little odd.

The stuff added to email is there so that when google spiders the page, spammers cannot simply harvest the email addresses (unless you want it harvested :roll: ).

What I can do is not enable that when you are logged in, as google never logs in (not That smart!). Ok, so I will do that.
