seem to have taken a different view of spam. Remember when we had
biased articles and said, "Time to rewrite this to be more neutral"?
Remember when we said to those who wanted to have articles about their

Yup. You know what changed? Two million plus articles and a top ten

editors that we get much back from the transaction.
