While I have only the vaguest idea of what Tapatalk is, I have seen people requesting it in other forums lately.
But I would have to agree. Having been infected by a virus off an innocuous web site (RV parts) to the extent of having to replace my hard drive, I think a little caution with any new member who immediately posts a link is a great idea.
It's also an oddity that the forum with the oldest software (several years obsolete) is the most secure one I go to; it hasn't had a spammer in something like four years.

I did not see that as a spam attempt.
FWIW I think there was overreaction to that post.
I also think we owe JCGORIA an apology!
I understand why you might think that. Apparently you are one of the fortunate ones who has never had to rebuild a system after a spammer got to your hard drive through an innocuous posting.
It is nice for all of you guys to apologize for me since you are not the ones who "jumped the gun". Now that this has happened, will I continue to report SPAM when I think I see it - ABSOLUTELY I will.
JCGoria - welcome to the forum. I hope you get as much from this group as I have.

Yes I have been fortunate in that regard! That does not mean I leave the back door unlocked though! I dislike spammers almost as much as you!:(dusty wrote:I understand why you might think that.

Thanks for the welcome(s)! I'm looking forward to pulling my Shopsmith out of the corner of the garage and putting it back together. When I moved 2+ years ago one of the packers decided everything on the Shopsmith needed to come apart down to the bit piece level, screws, washers, carriage disassembled, and thrown in a box. Hopefully I can put it back together here soon, get it aligned and make some sawdust.
