Updates for tonight

Hi everyone, just two bits of info about scams for tonight's post. I  hope you find them of interest and you can read them here and here.

I'm also interested in finding out if you would follow the blog if I announced updates on Twitter.  So I have put a short survey on the blog's home page and I'd really like to get your feedback about this idea.  If there is enough support to make it worthwhile I'll start publishing updates using Twitter (the blog will still be here and I'll still be posting in the same was as before).

That's all for now, short and sweet for this week.
