	andypie	matt!
	mtoups	yo
	andypie	our calendar is getting flooded with ads for viagra and cialis
	mtoups	ours too
	andypie	can nwe filete or put it on moderation?
	mtoups	we've got somebody working on coding something up
	mtoups	until then i can easily remove them all with one database query
	andypie	please do but that don't stop the flood
	mtoups	right
	mtoups	i just deleted 21 viagra's and 18 cialis
	mtoups	1 valuim
	andypie	that's for Cleveland?
	mtoups	yeah
	mtoups	deleted from the database, may or may not be reflected right 
away depending on if you're looking at a cached page
	andypie	thanks! good luck with coding. would that be a script we could 
run?
	mtoups	no... the idea we've had is to make them answer a simple 
question like "what is the three-letter abbreviation for Independent 
Media Center?" and hide it if the answer is not "imc"
	mtoups	also we could have keywords that are filtered, like 'cialis'
	mtoups	we'll see
	mtoups	either way it would intervene in the publishing process
	mtoups	we are getting pill spam links on the newswire articles also
	andypie	yeah. let us know on our listserv or email me at 
andycleimc at earthlink.net
	mtoups	ok
	andypie	catch you later and thanx
