    You might notice we put up an inters***ial page to verify that you are human... This is temporary until the attack subsides. Sorry for any h***le...

    I am surprised that a man of your obvious talents couldn't write your own software for that?

    It was a minor inconvenience while typing a long response, but beats the **** out of letting the robots in and having them learn the sacred traditional knowledge so they can AI a response to burning questions like Which Oil? and Driveline Angles?

    Same thing happened on the Buick forums I'm on recently, and it happens all the time there. They've had to do the same verification that we're using here for the last 3 weeks. Every time they try taking the verification down, the same **** happens a few days later and it's back.
