Our good friend, moderator Al, claims that he will "loosen up" when the spamming ends. What exactly is the type of spam you are getting. I havent seen any, maybe you are such an excellent moderator that you instantiously clean it up??? What exactly constitnutes spam to you? B/c perhaps what you think of as spam coult merely be someone asking for directions to and from a TRAIN (hint hint, wink, wink) STATION. Or perhaps you consider complaint of your moderating ability spam? I think you need to keep a log and listen to other's advice.
