 * Sorry about the spam everyone.
 * An overzealous intern recruited some friends back home (yes – India) and went
   a little post crazy.
 * They have been reprimanded and it has been stopped immediately. They are now 
   in the process of removing every post.
 * Alex, nor his team at Crowd Favorite had anything to do with this.
 * Our apologies.

 * Lloyd, I really do hope that I don’t have to tell you how to do your job.

 * I await word from the poster on the forums that they hit. I have to admit though
   that I would be concerned if I had an employee or intern who didn’t understand
   that spam was bad.
