I began as a "Guest", and the reason I registered was the patience, and knowledge of the moderators, guests, etc. Also, the information in the forums (I learned a lot of new things about bitzi, junk filters, etc., yesterday by cruising the forums) , there is always so much to learn, and it is by browsing. If people are abusing this fine median to the extent of which I am reading, and the problems caused by these "spammers", I vote NO.
