If we manage to tolerate heightened airport security, we will survive additional Forum screening as well.
Better a minute of answering boring questions than hours of irritation later on.
Mr. President, you have my support!!

Thanks for your support, Ariel.

We do feel a bit like we are foiling a vast spamming conspiracy. You've only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of spammers. We've banned about a dozen in the last couple weeks before they could post, and probably blocked a few dozen more from joining by putting some invisible restrictions on the joining process itself (I can't reveal how we caught them, as that would jeapordize our on-going anti-spammer program

).

You definatley have my support! It's really a shame about people joining just to spam and stir trouble.
