No, RMLR is Rennie R, who also lives in Fife, and was in the same line as VonH, but has now retired. I think he now spends a lot of time sailing and is very active with the E-Boat owners register. I've never met him, but have had some on-line advice from him about sailing and E-Boats.


....but not about driving. Mind you, if he's of the same background as Von, you'd pick up nowt of use there!

OK, only joking. :lol:

Anyhow thanks for the clarification: I so easily get confused. :(

Best wishes all,
Dave.

Rennie has his own website:

On another forum I administer, we use a CAPTCHA which also asks some specific, configurable question with specific answer - that seems to have cut down immensely on the number of SPAM registrations and postings.

Questions here could be of an "Advanced Driving" nature or e.g. relate to Highway Code -- but need "unambiguous" answers ;-)

Good idea, it might be something Darren can sort out. It cetainly is happening more frequently here. I suppose consideration will have to be given to some of our overseas members who do not have the same highway code.

Questions can be banal too -- "How many wheels does a four-wheeled vehicle have? Answer: 4" etc. :-)

"What is the abbreviation for Advanced Driving"? A: "AD" etc.

"What does the I in IAM stand for?" A: "Institute"
etc. etc. They don't really even have to be relevant to the "subject matter":

"What is two plus two?" A: "4" or "four" etc.
