Crumar Musical Instruments User Group.

Heya,

I have a suggestion. Is it POSSIBLE that we might ask members to simply PUT the word 'crumar' somewhere in every post they make?  Might be asking too much bit if they could do that, I'm willing to bet that all spammers would fail to do that :-).  And that we could run the group unmoderated with a filter that requires the word crumar to be in there.  

Any thoughts? -Bob
