I just got the same message today! I'm glad he was banned. That kind of stuff doesn't belong here.
Thank you.

Disc Mike,

Me too! there are two messages in my PM. Don't know if you can see them.

Latest from 'Admin& Moderator' who shows as a new member.

I won't delete them yet but, of course, won't repsond either.

He asks for a receipt but I just cancelled that.

Cheers,

CockneyJock ...
