Definitely good choices but one should never leave out the works of Mr. Libertarian.

Rothbard is most likely beyond PBR's rather limited intellect.

Though I must admit I was rather pleased to find Hoppe in my son's bathroom literature when I was scrubbing toilets the other day. Yeah he probably should clean his own bathroom but neither he, nor my husband, nor my mother ever clean anything to my satisfaction. No I don't have OCD I just like the smell of bleach in a bathroom.

As for the lack of leadership, I'd volunteer to moderate, but I'm not one to go out of my way to initiate new topics.  Though if appointed you can expect me to follow my general view that the best remedy for bad ideas is free speech.

Just make the spammers go away and I will be happy.

While the idea of having someone do away with Eric the Obtuse is a bit tempting there are a couple of small problems.  The first is free speech is valuable if only so the idiots can show themselves.  The wielding of arbitrary power tends to backfire onto the advocates of such power rather spectacularly.  The Dims in the Senate found this out the hard way last year and I am pretty sure that lesson is still lost on Eric the Obtuse.

Well, were I to run the forum, yeah the spammers would be gone. I'm not sure how to go about stopping them from joining the forum but posting about viagra and where to buy it in any language would likely result in instaban. And I'd also introduce a rule about those who post links as the OPs of threads...that being it is spam unless the OP also tells us why we should click that link. This would address the Nebraska/Scholar issue as they both post massive amounts of threads with no replies which consist of an OP with just a link in them.

Such posts require neither thought to create, nor warrant a response. I'm simply not clicking a link because someone posts it somewhere--I need a reason to bother. After all my time is valuable, and reading an article from the Guardian or similar communist rag is a waste of my time.
