Default NoSpam!

Well it cut down the spam content about 99% but I have still had to remove a few postings (maybe 3 in a week or two). But, way better than where we were -- we were seeing 10+ a day!

As far as the questions, they are below. I am not including the answers to preclude any industrious spammer from searching for them -- but I bet you can figure them out.

We struggled to make the questioms simple enough to only filter the spammers, international enough to be inclusive, in the end we stayed in the marine domain and figured we could do the regs manually for folks from other domains (arborists and alike).

BTW, I will be out of the country for the rest of the month (delivering a boat in Greece) so if we do get spam I'll need someone else to clean up...
