Archie - I guess that could be a reason but how hard is it to see its spam in the first place. I checked out the web site that onemadlush posted and it is a great site, most of the 86 spam posts today came from Amsterdam, Netherlands and a 1/2 doxen or so came from 3 areas in the states.
There I am sure will be more to come unless the board goes back to how it was at first where you had to have a real email address to post a message.
