1. The error message means that the database that keeps track of the threads in this forum cannot be extended to hold data for a new message in a thread, probably because it has filled up the disk on which it resides. This is something that will probably require new hardware (i.e., a bigger drive) to fix, although it's possible that a real sysop (e.g., Phil) could delete something else on that disk to make room.

2. The messages from "Phil" are bogus, in case anyone hasn't figured that out yet. He's not reading his email at present, and probably won't for almost another month.
