@jzb I agree. Alas, a likely way we stop the churning is also called "the next recession". Last year I de-risked my whole portfolio.
I'd genuinely like to see a fix at the supply end, with everyone shunning the owners of the slop factories, but all I could think of was a way to allow projects to work at the demand end, shunning individual slop-producers (:-()

@jzb do we perhaps need an open-source project to create slop-detectors? If they caught even a fraction of the submissions, they'd probably get 99% of the authors. For us to ban.

@evacide Yup! I know I have poor security practices, as I've probably forgotten more than half of what I knew from lexis nexis.

@cstross Hmmn, Dave has connected to Royal Bank. I thought he banked at Scotiabank. I wonder if he's up to something? (Yes, actually. diversification and a better deal.)
