I've had 73 strange admin e-mails too.

Anyone care to translate what they all say?
Geachte heer, mevrouw,

Tot 4 januari ben ik afwezig.

Met vriendelijke groet,
[Name removed]
I've notified Steffen of the possible problem.

It's Dutch.

It says: dear sir, madam:
Until January 4th I'm absent.

Kind regards,

I noticed it was Dutch actually, but forgot to mention.

The e-mails were to the admin account and all were reply notifications to various topics.

Very odd, and more than a little suspect.

Thanks for the translation. :)

speaking of hacking,you know I never mentioned this before but maybe 2 years ago as I was typing out a post, someone was changing words in my posts in real time and inserting funny stuff. it got crazy for a bit so much so I typed "stop it".

nobody could have cracked my password as its not something one could ever get on a guess without knowing me.

it never happened again after that. just thought Id share in the spirit of the thread.
