    Hard to say.. that user has made some unusual posts in the past, but with only 3 posts so far, nothing has been blatant spam. He (she?) could just be ESL, and living in a different time zone, and trying to contribute. *shrug*

    Man, what a blast from the past! I still remember most of the users in this thread from way back when. I can't believe how many years I've been here. lol
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Haha, I was reading through this thread and thinking, "Wow, we sure have a lot of legacy members popping up for a speed thread, cool!"

    Then I saw Kayin's post,
    I would really like my Thermaltake prizes... Thanks everyone for my wonderful prizes!

    Wrong!

    There is a standard of ADSL which does go upto 8mbps.
