John Simpson,

Interesting that you consider OLO to have been hacked by Julie Vickers. You mentioned that you have started a discussion about this, but I have not been able to find one using your user profile on OLO. Is this a discussion as yet awaiting approval? If it is, you will probably have an email message from the forum administrator by now.

It seems to me to be possible to make 13 posts to OLO in 24 hours if one is posting to both the General Discussion area of the site and the Articles area. If I understand the posting limits correctly, one could make a total of 15 posts legitimately in 24 hours. Julie Vickers, when I checked, had a total of 13 posts since first posting on OLO. I have not checked myself whether they are split between the two areas, but the OLO posting summary says they have been 8 general comments and 5 article comments, and that seems OK. I must admit it does not seem immediately clear from reading the Forum Rules how the posting limits apply, but if you run over limit the site normally gives you a lockout message until the clock expires on your oldest post.

I did note earlier today that the red posting recency flag on this thread had come down right on the two hour mark for the 15th post to the thread, in contrast to the flags on my postings on the Technical Support thread, which were being taken down up to half an hour early. You may find some of my notes there about differential post recency flagging interesting. See: http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=967#17288 . I certainly think the OLO site has been hacked and rendered susceptible to tweaking, as I can't see why they would do this to themselves, as it only tends to diminish the credibility of the site.

George W Bush and John W Howard with gritty determination will stay in Iraq to the bitter. It has taken a lot of courage from these two strong leaders in not flinching and giving in they have not cut and run they have kept on fighting at great risk to themselves. They are heroes and will go down in history as such such bravery. On the other hand Britains new Prime Minister has not shown that steely resolve after one month in office he is now retreating to the airport. A lot has been achieved in Iraq since the American Invasion Iraq now have a Democratic Government impartial Security Forces and a Secular Police Force. Many Iraqis have crossed the border to Syria but when the Country returns to normal they will all get the benefit of the oil and they will all be thankful for what the coalition of the willing have done for them. They now know that they do not have weapons of mass destruction and Iran do as allies. Their brothers have control of the Presidential Palace so now we can all sit back satisfied that it was a good job well done. Since the invasion of Iraq the world is now a safer place. We can all feel satisfied that we have elected John Howard for eleven years and God willing we will all elect him again.

Julie is a plant and a tool no supporter of conservative Australia and not as smart as he /she wants to be.
But I am concerned even worried why would a poster think Costello is as popular as flatulence in a crowded lift?
Why the need to flatter him?
he is far worse than that!

At last John many respectable Liberals are now asking you to stand aside.
You have done a wonderful job at APEC with many contracts signed that Kevin Rudd will now have to honour. John we are pleading with you if you continue to want to lead we will all be decimated and we will be losing our seats. We will stil hold the Senate BUT if you fail to stand aside after APEC and callan election you will undo all the good that you have done over the last eleven years. Please listen to Wilson Tuckey and Mal Washer a lot of moderate members who do not want Nuclear Power and were privately against Work Choice want you to stand aside for Peter. If you continue the way you are going and not listening to Public Opinion you will be considered arrogant and blinkered. It would be fantastic for you to depart undefeated and allow Peter to call the election

"Mal Washer" !!

Well done Julie! You're an 'Ime'! (I, me). I had great fun as an Ime on another forum.

Mind you, it brought out some fairly scary supportive opinions, which is what I set out to expose.

(You couldn't resist the above could you? It's given the game away I'm afraid!)

Methinks it's irony!
