<br>
For thought:<br>
Suppress ALL announcements by unregistered users;<br>
Suppress passing the content of the comments field by unregistered
users to other nodes;<br>
Keep spots local for unregistered users;<br>
Suppress user first time at node comments field; <br>

need to address the announce spam one of these days. The <br>
worst offender is HG8PRC who is sending an announce for his
cluster <br>
every 3 minutes. I added him to my bad spotter list.<br>
