Sorry about the inconsistency. I oversee the Infrastructure for a $1.6B company and planning for our 46TB SAN, our 60 Server VMWare environment and our other 100 servers has occupied about half my time and dealing with my 91 year old mom and 76 year old mother in law, the wife, the dog, my 3 grown kids, not to mention my specal iPad project with CITRIX at work (I got the CEO and Chairperson excited)...its been tough.

Even my own in-hose tech blog has suffered. I have 10 topics and no time to write them.

I still have my 1/2 finished Pages review and Number and Kynote in draft.

Will get posting ....... sorry again......

Hey Dom,

Sorry it took me so long to respond to the message. I missed the notification.

We're implementing a few more measures to try and block them. It should take care of the robots. But unfortunately, a lot of these posts are coming from actual people.

The CAPTCHA is what you are referring to, and we had that up right at the start. It didn't stop the human spammers, and a lot of our actual users told us that it was too annoying to post.

But you're right about the actual conversation. Starting April 3, there will be more to talk about other than the news. Haha

Any way to block the spamers? I want to reach through the screen to kill something when I see them invade perfectly good posts. I would guess your signup page needs one of those functions that forces a human to read the characters in a graphic (I forget the terminology).

Hopfully real conversation will pick up once we get the iPads in our hands.....I know my posts will.

Later,
DomG
