[CIMC-work] second response on blocking spammer

[ChrisGeovanis at aol.com]

my main plea in this debate is that we NOT set up structures that would allow 
anybody else to, like, use our date to invade someone's privacy. we are still 
burning our logs, right? and this still means we can't actually count how 
many hits the site is registering per week, right? (too bad if true, but i'll 
take no data over privacy-exploitable data in a heartbeat).

christine, technologically challenged.
