unfortunately it is very much true for stax_builders (as i am moderator
i can see some of it still even after yahoo filters most of spam)
moreover when membership request comes to me that has no comment i do
not approve because you can not know if this is really somebody
interested in stax or just more sophisticated spam bot - dark side of
"flat world" :-(

best,
