MLX is a system for exchanging learning objects, and it support comments on these objects. For some reason (because spammers usually pick bigger targets) it has been spammed. I'm sure Alan would agree with me now, 'Pull' is the future of the web, 'Push' is just an open invitation for spammers. Getting Google to tweak PageRank won't fix this; it is impossible to keep spam out.
