Given the all-purpose subject line, I kinda suspect this one of being spam. But since it doesn’t have any other spam flags, I’m hesitant to delete it. Hoalohowdah—are you out there somewhere?

I have permanently banned the user and the IP address. It’s a spammer technique to send one non-spammy message first, and then are recognized as “a user who has posted before”. PunBB (the forum software) doesn’t do any like this. but still.
Thanks Pat, for your constant vigilance and help…

Good to know—I was suspicious, but couldn’t figure out what anyone could be getting out of that.
Guess I’ll be a little bolder with the delete button—I hope I don’t nuke some newbie’s first post.
