OK by me. That makes its purpose clear and is less likely to be confused 
with IMC-Web

Yeah, we didn't talk about that. The commercial spam dropped off for 
awhile, but is now back. I've been having to delete/purge at least 30 to 
40 a day, sometimes more. It's not a real big deal, as the issue is 
always clear-cut with it, unlike some other abusive practices which 
cause me to think a minute or two before they are dealt with. But it 
would sure be nice, as it would help keep Indymedia non-commercial. But 
this should be thought of as at the bottom of the priority list, unless 
there is an easily implemented solution.
