[19:00:17] <Bytram> 12 spams so far today, and on the order of 20 or so yesterday.
[18:59:11] <Bytram> mayhaps it would help to spoiler-ize all references to them in the wiki?
[18:58:42] <Bytram> yep
[18:58:13] <takyon> you're talking about email lists right?
[18:57:38] <Bender> karma - takyon: 95
[18:57:38] <Bytram> takyon++
[18:57:36] <Bytram> excellent thinking!!
[18:57:31] <Bytram> nod nod
[18:57:18] * Bytram is sorely tempted to reply to every spam message from "Jimmy" for photo editing... looks like he scraped (or got access to a scrape of) all group lists for the site... dev at soylentsnews, as well as style, suggestions, and art lists, too.
[18:56:15] <takyon> finally, I've moved the following stories out more to give this one more breathing room. since there is a lot to discuss
[18:52:58] <Bytram> much bettah!
[18:52:45] <takyon> "which may have an even greater impact than the Copyright Directive"

[18:52:38] <Bytram> teamwork++
[18:52:21] <takyon> "which may be even worse than the Copyright Directive"
[18:52:13] <takyon> I need to remove my own bias
[18:51:58] <Bytram> takyon: ^^
[18:51:55] <Bytram> didn't really see much of anything needing changing... all yours!
[18:51:24] <Bytram> almost done
[18:51:21] <Bytram> getting there
[18:51:06] <takyon> I'd like to make a final edit
[18:51:00] <takyon> how are we looking bytram
[18:45:51] <Bytram> I wasn't aware, so appreciate the call out
[18:44:14] <takyon> I have spelled out that the El Reg article was written by Andrew Orlowski because he is infamous for his anti-Google views
[18:43:51] <takyon> in other news I fixed some extremely broken links that were up there, added Digital Liberty, and added those other 2 subs
[18:43:35] <takyon> sure
[18:43:29] <Bytram> um,,, I'll yank the blockquote tags from within it, then
[18:43:13] <Bytram> okay
[18:43:08] <takyon> depends on your theme I reckon
[18:42:58] <Bytram> makes the quoted text's background doubly dark
[18:42:56] <takyon> so I spoilered it
[18:42:53] <takyon> and you are not one of the 3 user submitters
[18:42:47] <takyon> the stuff you quoted is huge
[18:42:39] <Bytram> curious... why the <spoiler> ??
