The software might be the problem. These Web II set ups are designed to bring folks in, once they are in, it might be more difficult than easy to control them.

Also name IPSUM which is a very useful item; text was once published at request of Dick Smith, one of our Aust jokers, who became very rich by being different. He once brought a barge covered with white canvas (burlap) into Sydney Harbour, claimed it was an iceberg to supplement our water supplies during drought. He flew a helicopter solo around the world in stages over several months. — Alan.
That IPSUM was used as the published wording of an advertisement. — Alan.
