I’d say it wasn’t spam, **cbm77**. Careful with accusations like that. [Abebooks.com](http://Abebooks.com) is a well-known book search facility. I use it myself. At a WAG, I’d say the test involved quotes or non quotes in a link formula. ---

How was this an accusation Ice Wolf? There was a question involved in my post. And if it were an accusation why would I care? 🆒 Sorry if my post was too over the top…😛 ---

My apologies for misunderstanding you, **cbm77**. Nah, I didn’t find your post over the top. Just wasn’t able to fully see what you were getting at. The fault was mine. ---

Is was a test, hence the title, “test”. I tried using that link in a GQ response the other day and screwed it up, so was trying to figure out what I did wrong in the forum for practice posts. ---
