Down at the bottom of the page there is a list of registered users which are online at any given time. Along with those users in faint print are people like Baidu[spider] and Majestic-12[bot], Bing [bot} etc. What is this and what does this represent. If I wanted to send a PM to Majestic-12, how would I do so?

Internet search engines. They cruise the net to fill their search databases.

You can click on their name and bring up their info. Scroll down just a bit into the gray section and you will find a link to PM them. Same thing on posts. Click on their name and it will take you to their screen.

I believe that there is some level of security in the system that may allow them to opt-out of private messages, so if the user has selected that option, you will not be able to PM them.

That will work with real people but not computers.

So I can PM a computer?

Welcome back, stranger.

Thanks. Yes, I was on hiatus for a while. Other activities got in the way.

Now I've got 5 grandchildren so I thought I'd get back to doing some woodworking. Not doing enough to justify the PowerPro just yet, but who knows. Maybe this winter I'll take the plunge.

Not to worry about justification! The next time you flip the switch and push a button, the justification will be evident.

You won't even have to make sawdust. Just fire it up!
