Misled on both counts I fear!

I'm a firm adherent of the "growing old is compulsory, but growing up is entirely optional" (I don't adult very well)
On the skill side ... I'm with @rage (from The Lounge[^] ) Wink | ;)

Oh definitely me too. I remember a time when I was writing code with only the occasional glance at the reference manual. Nowadays it's Google for almost every line.

~~How to keep a free Azure Web App alive[^]~~
I haven't reported the user: Marlon Hizole - Professional Profile >>>> https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=6424689 because I don't think it's deliberate spam.
The site he links to - twice - is free, but ... as he says:

Quote:
The best part is it's free for the first 50 monitors!

Which implies that you have to pay for it pretty quickly, and that makes it a free trial of a paid product: spam.
I also suspect that this might breach Amazon T&C's for the free tier, but I'm not an expert on that.

Your thoughts?

Let's @Sean-Ewington have some words with him and keep it in the watch list?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
