I've switched to http://monkeyfilter.com (which is free) and started spoofing MeFi on my own site. MeFi took my $5, banned me for doing the exact same thing the mods and their friends do, and then refused to discuss the ban. One person recently told me how the smugness there is a total dealbreaker for him. The tight moderation is more like censorship.

Send a text message from your cell phone to ask@mosio.com and get back the answers you need. (no, they don't publicize your number, people respond on the site and it's forwarded to your cell) After 3 months, I'm happy with it. Spam hasn't become a problem, and (if you're asking real questions) you get useful answers. Definitely worth a look.

It's a great resource, and worth the $5 entrance fee.

Thank you. I really need to start getting the New Yorker. I don't have time to read it, but I'm always happy when I do get to an article. Ok, the Ben Franklin essay is fantastic. Thank you.
