Before Mark started asking people adjust to the foibles of gg, we used

including requests that it try to stop being a major source of spam posts.

If I were in charge of the software used for this list, I would replace 
Mark with a custom addition to return mis-formated posts (more blank 
lines than not) with instructions on how to fix them. But I am not.
