| Yes, please stop the spam. I'll chime in with another vote to limit posting to subscribers.
And while we're on the spam topic, there's an interesting notice over at slashdot: "East Side Journal reports that without telling anyone, Microsoft has suddenly changed the privacy preferences for all Hotmail users. They're now sharing your name and other personal information with third parties, even if you said you didn't want that when you signed up. (If you're a user, login, go to Options > Personal Profile, and un-check the boxes at the bottom of that page.)" Yahoo did this last month, of course. The lack of any punishment for this act seems to have encouraged Microsoft to follow suit. And, if you're a hotmail subscriber, it may be too late to fix it. By the time you turn your settings off, they've likely sold their mailing list to N spammers already, who are in turn selling it to others. Others have observed that only a few browsers are able to get access to the Personal Profile pages. IE can, of course, and some versions of Netscape. Most others just get a notice that you're not using an approved browser. Opera users can tell it to fake an IE id. Most others will be locked out by their valid-browser check.
