	There is a massive increase in the amount of SPAM here lately. Is there anything the Administration here can do about it? __________________ "Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact." George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans] (1819-1880)

	Not very hard. They trashed the best west coast spam catcher about three years ago. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	I've noticed that it seems to come in batches and wondered if that corresponds to when the stable gets filled or when the admins aren't around to shovel it out.

	Weekends used to prime time for the spammers, but as of late, they seem to load up after normal business hours for eastern U.S. figuring the admins are away . . . In the past some have suggested that new users have a period of time or some number of responses before they can post. However, that also penalizes those students who need a homework question answered tonight because it's due tomorrow.

	We all can spot this SPAM in an instant. Email spam filters work pretty well. Why can't one be of use here?

	Now who put it out there that spammers wouldn't be moderated for the first 100 days?

	That's quite a list. Makes me remember looking at the road atlas and noticing the towns with odd names. You can almost taste the spam. __________________ High Tolerance is Beautiful
