Hi folks,
                    What do people think about this article posted? The 
AIM site has been getting a large number of posts from (unknown, of 
course!) authors pushing this site, and nothing else. This has the 
effect of pushing actual content posts off the newswire quickly.

I don't want to suggest blocking all link postings, just that in certain 
over the top cases we may hide these. What do others think?

Well, you get the point... do we really just want to be an ad site for 
this journal?

Cheers,
                Brian.
