Hi folks,
Been busy with the kids and the house lately, just fired up the projector after about 3 months.
The Marquee was spot on! Enjoyed a movie with the wife.
CGT is still fun!

CGT?

Most likely a SPAM account so I've nuked it. They just signed up yesterday and post like they're a regular we should all know.

It's a more believable first-post than most spammers use. I wondered if "CGT" was a typo for "CRT" ?

But yeah, sign up and immediately post a "hi folks" note like we know him... prolly a spammer.

The typo was done twice (once in the title, once in the text) so it's not a fat-fingered thing.

Spammers are getting smart and using bits of text (often from the same source) that sounds real. So I searched for the 3 phrases separately thinking it would come up with something:

"Been busy with the kids and the house lately, just fired up the projector after about 3 months"
"The Marquee was spot on! Enjoyed a movie with the wife."
"CGT is still fun!'

But all 3 came up blank in Google. Normally I'll often find an exact phrase/paragraph either in this forum or some other HT forum.

But now that I search directly in our own forum, see this thread from 2022:
