I would gladly volunteer! Hi Brent, While I agree that message did not belong here, how often does a thing like that happen here? Is it really worth delaying the flow of messages because of an occasional bad apple? (Surely you cannot sit at the computer 24/7 and let all good messages pass through immediately.)
