marketplace abuse?

[Brett Dikeman]

I know the person doing some of it.  He's a (very) old list member,  
though not very active these days.  I've emailed him asking him to  
consolidate his postings.  If it continues to be a problem, I'll start  
talking with Mark about enhancing the marketplace to either better  
accommodate parting-outs in some fashion (since they're fairly  
common)...or maybe enforce a reasonable per-person limit.

Suggestions are welcome.
