    Just in case no one else has this occurring, it is in Chinese this morning for me. And no, I haven't been drinking all night.

    Wow, this is an impressive amount of spam. Usually there's some sort of goal in mind with spam, but these seem to be some sort of advertisements for diploma mills? And without any links to phish with, to boot.

    I was a bit surprised to see this myself after opening the southwest forum. I now see that this guy has hundreds of posts since joining earlier today. Fastest rate of growth of beer karma ever.. :grinning:
