Hey, no problem, that's what FoRK's about. But repetitive bit dispersion
(e.g. Hail Mary's) is hardly sufficient - it is too easily automated. We
need to be far more creative in our punishment to get above the noise of
Rohit's self-immolation.

My complaint is not about PUNISHMENT, but insufficiently ingenious/sadistic PUNISHMENT. Remember the FoRK motto "If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing."

P.S. I did think the BillG one-liner response was quite clever.
