Since 1944, when the U.S. captured the atoll from the Japanese in the Battle of Kwajalein, it has been used for military purposes, while escaping the fates of the nearby atolls of Bikini, Rongelap and Enewetak as the atoll has never been nuked or covered with any significant nuclear fallout. Eleven of the 97 islands are leased by the United States and are part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (RTS), formerly known as Kwajalein Missile Range.

    Yeah, I've had enough of it. Though there were some interesting discussions after some of the posts, it's time for it to stop. Obviously, if someone wants to read his posts, they seem easy enough to find on one of many other forums.

    The question is: has mort ever actually responded to a message, or is it just new threads? If the latter, it's pretty evident mort is a bot.

    I just looked thorugh his posting history, and he has in fact responded in the threads he has started and also in other threads.



    Not a bot!



    I'm going to un-ban him and request that from now on he just keep his satellite photo posts in one consolidated thread.

    What if it's a really bad satellite photo? His BMW pic was crap.



    I think we should vote on his photos, if they're worthy, we keep him on. If his next is a "thumbs down", off with his head...



    And I was only off by 4 and a half days....

    That's making a little much of things.

    I meant voting is a little much-- but if that was a joke too then okay.

    It's straight from Spam 2.0 for Dummies: if you're spamming forums, periodically post a comment or two to fake being a real user.

    My concern was that it was just a spambot. He's got one chance to follow the 'keep 'em in one thread' demand.
