[Imc] Hide It?

[Brian Hagy]

i dunno if i'd call the article spam.  however, it does fall under the
guise of a repost.  however, considering it wasn't on the same day, it's
possible that the author might have thought the article was lost (maybe
from not knowing how the site works) and thus reposted it (maybe from
thinking the information is important for people to investigate...i admit,
i followed the links, and was disturbed by some of what i read...so, i
could easily imagine his insistance for others to know of this stuff).

i say hide it, and send the author an email telling him he doesn't need
to repost articles because they are already on the website/newswire.
maybe even suggest writing further articles to follow up on some of the
things he's already posted.  i'm frantically trying to get things finished
so that i can get out of town for the holidays (not that i'm really
wanting to leave, but hey), otherwise i'd do it.
