	Well, since my main forum is a fan site for Canadian / American children's author Gordon Korman, it is something that I probably ought to do some thinking about. Such a wonderfully complex and dangerous world!

	This is one that is pretty much ignored by most folks unless your forum is catering to subjects that might attract kids (like pop singers or whatever) - which might attract predators. However, the extra hoops it requires on registrations does a good job at blocking spambots.

	Ouch ... may need to dig a little deeper, then. Thanks, Bill!

	Tried to install this one ... have not succeeded yet, due to two steps failing in the install process. With a little time, may be able to figure out where the problem came from, but for the moment .... (Just checking for testing purposes, anyway ... this is the mod that complies with some law in England, right? Not something I really need for my forum, just testing installation and workings on these.)
