    Roberto, there’s a problematic typo in the first link (spam site).

    Thank you Roy, I corrected it now. Ciao!

    My site isn’t a “spam site” - the link was incorrectly pointing to an incoming live feed on my website.

    Yes Phil, it was just a typo (actually more than one).

  5. 5 Roy Schestowitz

    Yes, too of them.
