[Groop] Groop Links to Wiki

I have a web page with some forms on it, that you can fill out if you 
want a free catalog, and stuff. Every once in awhile a spammer gets 
hold of it, and fills it out every couple hours with bunches of 
links. I am sure it is some automated spam machine, that as you say, 
puts more links to their site up on the web. I used to wonder why 
they thought it was worth the effort, but I guess my "form" looks 
like a wiki page or a "guest book" page, where anything a visitor 
inputs is displayed on the web. Rick
