Ok Dave

I can not stop laughing over the spam post message. Thanks for that!

"Stop Dave...I think your post is spam Dave...please stop...if you believe I am in error Dave, please speak to an administrator.

Daisy Daisy..."

Hmm? Would this be in reference to something I did?

I've never seen the spam post message, but it's definitely a reference to HAL.

It HAL Dave, it's from a Space Odyssey, the ship crew man he talks to is called Dave, it's just worked out to be very funny as you've have login questions

Oh, ok. Being I don't know of any other Dave's here, except maybe Dave B. (who I haven't seen in quite some time and not even sure if he's registered on the new site?) just thought to ask in case I unwittingly offended someone.

Would this be from the first Space Odyssey movie (1960's or so) or the newer one? I honestly tried watching the original one, but didn't make it much passed 20-25 minutes or so. And never have watched the newer version.

Yep, it's all from the 1st one. Arguably the greatest film ever made (and one of my faves), but it is a tough watch, all those screaming apes and no human dialogue for nearly half an hour.
You need to be committed to it in order to see the HAL and Dave bits later on. "Open the pod bay doors!" Etc etc.

And you would be correct, Valence. Because that is exactly what I didn't get passed. Guess I just figured the entire movie was going to be that way? ... Who knows, maybe one day I will try watching it again, albeit, skipping over the "ape's only" part.

Yes, it's the error message that appears when HAL blocks a post he thinks is spam. It's actually been there for about a month or so before the update (I may have altered the exact phrasing slightly since though).

He may be a little jumpy right now because he's basically all new again and has to re-learn what is acceptable posting again.

It's ok. I didn't get the HAL reference but it made me chuckle none the less.

He had every right to flag what I tried to post. I was just excited and wanted to share it.
