Hi. Thanks for visiting, although may I ask that you edit your welcome post to make it appear less like spambot spam? It has been flagged as spam by other users, but i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt as I see you've taken the time to create an avatar and sig, and all seems to be legit. I can see why others would think this is spam though, as posting one massive block of text promoting a link is a usual trait of spambots

Thanks for the warning viz. the spambot thing. For my future postings for here and in other sites how would or should I edit my posts? I'm only introducing myself and providing a link to something that interests me. How does that make it spam? Is it the fact the link is there or is there too much information(ie wall of text) in my post or what?

I think they thought your post was spam because there was no paragraphing, and was just a solid block of text which is consistent with how spambots post. They obviously didn't take the time to actually read the words to see that the text was legit and not nonsensical.

No harm done, just remember to add a couple of paragraphs when you write so it's a little easier on the eyes

Right you are. I'm too used to using my ps3 browser which does not enable me to paragraph my posts, even tho i am using my new (old) ibook G4 which does enable me to paragraph. Lesson learnt, thanks.
As for requests for pictures, they are all available thru the said link in my introductory post at the top. I do not wish to post them herein as they do not pertain to gaming, and would be classed as off-forum, tho I believe as gamers, many of you will be interested to see these evidences. Everything within the site is free, apart from J P Skipper's book(he's my self appointed mentor, a very intelligent insightful logical man. He would do a vulcan proud methinks). One shot is of a huge nozzle, larger than any crane we have here on earth, in order to be seen from orbit, which shoots out some sort of spray for making what J P Skipper thinks are domes, as domes can be seen in adjacent shots.
One other joyous piece of news, for ps3 fans, and suffering xbox holders whom housed us as refugees during the interim, is the return of psn today, starting with update 3.61. Oh godly joyous choir bashings and lashings of angel studded happiness and devotions. PSN is nearly back upon us.

Btw, I'm procion on psn, and proscyon on xboxlive, add me if thou wilt...
