Nothing - now I need to change the questions!

Sure you got them all right. They are not hard, but you would have to have some knowledge of electronics to answer them. It means the average idiot who knows nothing about the subject matter (professional test equipment) would most likely not be able to answer them. If anyone wants a manual, they will take the trouble to answer the questions.

This also means I avoid people posting requests for consumer manuals (their TV or HiFi).

I don't even need to do any registration.

Of course I could make them a lot harder, but I am keen not to shut out the keen hobyiest who may not have a more formal electronics background.

Anyway, just an idea, that might work.

I thought of doing the same for a forum on a local rail line I run.

http://www.southminster-branch-line.org.uk/phpBB2/

That gets plenty of idiots with their adds for sex, drugs or gambling. Some questions requiring some local knowledge of the rail line would be useful. Perhaps I might suggest that to the developers of phpBB.

It seems to me, that if you have a specialist interest forum or guest book, then filtering people by their knowledge of that topic is not a bad idea. I guess saving the results as a cookie on their disk might be useful, so they don't have to do it every time.
