Mr Yellow	BS: Calling all computer folks. (17)	RE: BS: Calling all computer folks.	30 Dec 06
What the BBC do is impose a 3 minute delay on all posts. I would bet it is easy enough to have a 'bot on the 'Cat that looked for new posts with links - and the Joe clones probably have access to similar lists. The rest has to be a manual decision by the nature of things. If tracing via TCP/IP was any use it would be part of that 'bot s/w, I am sure. Add a delay to GUEST's posts is my suggestion. If it bothers us we will click-in our memberships from wherever we are - it has to be less irksome that reading adverts. A free society is not always free in our own personal terms - viz Walkman sound leakage and Mobile Phones.
