Or you could start by having the "keepers" of the database stop collecting,
sorting, and distributing the data. Clearly, I like this concept
(banning)...so write to your favorite contest sponsor and let your voice be
heard. The "cat out of the bag" or "genie out of the bottle" concept should
NOT be the reason why this "feature" shouldn't be banned. It is a DUMBING
DOWN module...not what skill is made of.
