[Boston-editorial] poker

[Matthew Williams]

Petrina, I wouldn't get too worried about labelling these things 
properly when you hide them. If you mislabel something when you hide, 
it you have to unhide it and then rehide it to relabel it.

As for deleting the poker ads, I can see a reason to do that--if 
they're spamming our site to boost their Google standings, purging 
their posts from the system will eliminate those links. I don't know if 
it's really worth the effort though. I'm perfectly happy to wait till 
we get the Drupal site up and put the spamblocker into play.
