SITE NEWS
- I was informed by a reader that a major newspaper had published a BBspot
story in one of their columns. It also appears in their online edition. I
was flattered, but pissed off by the blatant copyright violation since they
never asked permission or offered compensation to reprint it. They have yet
to respond to my polite e-mails. Looks like it might be the first time I
have to get a lawyer for a site issue. I'll let you know who the violator
is next week after (hopefully) I've heard back from them. I'll keep you
updated in the BBlog too. (http://bbspot.com/Log/)
- I've expanded the personals mockeries. Now the full profile gets the
BBspot treatment. Check it out daily. (http://bbspot.com/misc/webcam2.html)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what
