Your post was not affected. A new post was added to the thread, apparently by a spammer. If you look at your actual thread, you will see that the post has already been removed by a moderator due to it being spam.

I have edited your above post to remove the spam contents, as repeating them here is counter-productive. I have also removed your email address from your post above to prevent you getting unwanted spam due to it being posted on a public website.

In future, if you see a post that appears to be spam then please click the Report Post button to the left of the relevant post (looks like a yellow triangle in a black square). A moderator will then deal with the post.

Thank you Sarah Woodhouse.
