Dave - forgive me if it's inappropriate to ask about the "competition," but I figured you'd know the answer.

RB - has become virtually unreadable with the number of "spam" posts. Is this something that RB condones, makes money from, or just doesn't care? If you go to the "anyone can post for free" model, do you worry about this type of thing? Are there ways to avoid or filter this stuff?

Westi has some kind of technology that facilitates that kind of posting. Sometimes you'll click on a thread and there will be 100 posts from Westi, all empty except for "-" in the header line. 3 mins or so later, its all filled in, so it is automated in some way.
