If spam is such a problem for you and don't like the open invitation that Max has extended for public contributions and for so long - why do you not find somewhere else?

If you do like the good aspects of our forum - perhaps you will be prepared to bear with the efforts being made by Max to deal with some of the less good aspects?

Perhaps you would agree that seeing a little bit of spam (until it can be dealt with) is but a small price for you and everyone else being basically free to say as they wish?
