[Clipart] new kind of problem

[Brad Phillips]

But are a few spam messages here and there worth completely disabling comments/messaging?  I personally don't think so.  I think communication is more valuable than the space between now and completely revamped code.  Perhaps email notification of new messages can be temporarily disabled, if it's becoming an annoyance?  Even then, though, users can opt out of receiving those emails directly from their manage profile page.
