Ian,

As you well know ... this isn't a security hole. It's just a bigot banging on his favourite drum (yet again).

    The 4Z5LZ-2 spotters are exploiting the hole in Spider security, which I have pointed out before.  They connect, immediately send a spot and immediately disconnect.   I would not be surprised to see more of this.

  Explain why this is a security hole?  They cannot do this at gb7mbc or hb9drv-9 unless they are registered, in which case I can easily stop the problem.  Can users not log in, post a spot and leave on CC cluster?  Some users actually do this as the norm!
