Is Spam Beginning to Take Over?
Recent poll studies that the author of this article conducted last week have come back with promising results of people's opinions about our little spamming issue. Even though only sixteen people voted in the poll that was posted in the OTD as sticky (start looking for those people!) I can still safely conclude that spamming is not as big of an issue to our members as we all seem to think. Below are the poll results:

Extremely Severe 212.50%Mildly Severe 16.25%Problematic 212.50%Mild and Out of the Way 1275.00%Don't Notice It 00%

As you can see, Mild and Out of the Way dominates in the polls by 75%. Only two members believed it to be Extremely Severe. The poll is now closed and will no longer be taking votes. Please keep an eye for future polls from the RpG AP.

Is Mikodite a Bitch?
The author of this article realized that many of us are probably sick and tired of hearing about this issue, but the RpG AP has decided to go ahead and display the current poll results for this time only. These results were a lot more close to being tied than the above results about spam. It appears that more of us are concerned with bitching than spamming. Gee, that's kind of wierd, don't ya think?

Yes! 930.00%No! 1136.67%Not sure/no comment 1033.33%

As you can see, Mikodite is clearly not a bitch according to the majority of No voters by 36.67%. 10 members voted Not sure/no comment and thus decided not to voice their opinion.

Rice: Mideast Talks Moving Toward Goal
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday that Mideast peace talks are "moving in the right direction" although she warned Israel that it should stop new settlement activities that could upset progress.

Rice's comments came after she held talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the end of a three-day Mideast mission with the goal of achieving an agreement before President Bush leaves office next January. Earlier Monday, Rice met separately with both the Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Israel and said that she was impressed by the seriousness of their work.

"I think it's all moving in the right direction," Rice said at a news conference with Abbas, saying that things are proceeding toward the goal of reaching some sort of peace agreement by 2009 that would lead toward the creation of a Palestinian state.
