FTS100 - please could you remove your advert from the comments under my piece "Madwomen in the Attic"?
http://abctales.com/story/fatboy74/too-much-sky-part-2
there's one here too
Thanks Pia - now how many others I wonder???

Now I see. When I first read this I thought FTS100 had placed an advert in her 'signature,' which may be fair enough, depending on what they're promoting, but the 'comments' in your piece are completely out of order. ABC Tales needs to nip this in the bud.
Thanks karl - yes, any editors out there please who can do this? Or should I email Tony?
I have had this happen before but usually by an unknown person and it was immediately nipped in the bud....SO?
apparently some hackers are playing around with the site. I am sure the techies will get to the bottom of it. Just give them space and time.
Ok - thanks Pia! It doesn't take much to send me into a panic at the moment - I know you're right.
I wonder if it is any help to logout? I think I might do that for a couple of hours.
Good idea....
I don't - is someone playing with your mind or your technology? As it's under your username I thought I should bring it to your attention.
Paul,
1) If something 'suspicious' is posted in your name, why shouldn't it be removed? If it's suspicious it surely needs to be isolated
2) Nobody knows you wrote this. It could be a hacker, or it could a case of scizophrenia, but as it's written under your name it's indicative that you wrote it.
Paul, my apologies. Investigating accidents & incidents (and the gathering of evidence) is part of my job, so I am one of the few people who understands exactly what you mean. How often I've arrived at a scene to find that, say, a tipped over dumper has been uprighted or a dropped 3-tonne concrete plank has been moved. You are, of course, correct. The only time an incident scene should be touched is if a person is lying underneath a heavy object or in further danger (and even then it may be best to leave them).
Once again, my apologies.
Thanks all, line now drawn.
They clearly picked the best two writers they could find seashore ;-) I quite like spams on my old stuff, at least someone's clicking on them.
D'you know I thought that too fb, after my initial reaction wore off....;-)
