Suspicious?
Hm, someone's just testing his/her new Nokia 7710. Nothing especially worrying, I'll probably remove those user accounts if they remain inactive.

They appear to be imported from myeuro.info. This is very welcome, although it raised some eyebrows that he/she appears to use some kind of an automated system to enter the notes.

I remember we were suspicious about Austrian user Pfundi's recent hit with consecutive serial. Today he got another hit, but it looks ok to me. :?

Are there any restrictions on the use of automated inserters?

I would say no. But I'm curious, how did you do that? What kind of programm you were using?

At least for my part, you're welcomed to enter notes into EBT. I hope your nice hits keeps you interested into this hobby. :wink:

As long as the notes entered are valid (ie. you've had those notes), I see no problem using whatever method you prefer.

I'll most probably change the entry dates to the dates you've mentioned in the comment, so that the hits that resulted from your notes would be correct.

You once wanted to do that with my notes too, but never did. I thought you'd have changed your opinion so that the date has not to be changed. But if you still want to do it, you can still do it. :)

I wrote a small vb app that takes a slightly modified version of androl(?)'s myeuro.info export-file and an ETB session-id and inserts the exported data using that session

One could change them only when hits with them emerge. Not before, because it's an awful lot of work. :idea:

Cool. Nice thing that someone can implement new programms when needed. :D Maybe such a program should be made publicly available if someone else wants to make such migration. :idea:
