Oh right, I see. TBH I was thinking that Thor had slowed down somewhat
maybe thats why.

Nope, tried that and still no joy - there is one weird thing though,
running ValidateThor I get an Unknown system statement (?)
don't know if this is relevant or not but I still get the same error
message if I go to write a post

EG:

15.Conner:Thor/bin> ValidateThor ALL
ValidateThor 1.3 (24.2.99) by Eirik Synnes <eirikns@ifi.uio.no>

IMPORTANT:
o Only run ValidateThor after a reboot.
o For the best stability leave the system alone while validating.
o Be aware that validating the databases can take a long time.
o ValidateThor will perform a pack/purge after deleting corrupt messages.
o Use Sushi to avoid error requesters. Sushi can be found on AmiNet.

Do you want to continue? [y/N] y
