So you mean to tell me that a post without a genuine point is a spam? I am thoroughly confused because if that's it then the Off-Topic Forum is quite full of them?

No, actually the mods are "occasionally" using my account as their DL for stealth moderating.

The real reason is that my image set isn't ready, due to the lack of pictures on Celts.

Of course if you did have basic knowledge in either History or Geography you would know where Vergina is and you wouldn't have to post useless questions!

No case is closed, I'd appreciate it if somebody closed this thread!

There is an old saying that the best place to hide a letter is on the mantlepiece.
Apparently that still holds true - the best place to hide a SPAM thread is in a thread titled "Spam".
