Hi Leo

Not sure if your post was in response to mine, but if it was, then I may have misled you with what I wrote.

Basically I visited Astromart daily and suddenly, one day, I could not log on.

I tried to contact the admin via e-mail querying my new and surprising error message along the lines of “userid not recognised”. But I did not get a reply, even after 2 or 3 e-mails over a period of a couple of weeks.

My next e-mail, to the same point of contact, had in the subject line words to the effect “possible fraud on my account” and I received a reply with a few hours.

If instead, I had been informed that my account would be suspended until I paid a once off $12 admin fee within say, 2 weeks or so, it is likely that I would have done so. But to be cut off without any notification and then have my e-mails ignored until I included the emotive word “fraud” in the subject line, kind of put me off joining.

There’s nothing wrong with the occasional grump – usually, they are well founded!

Cheers

Dennis
