More evidence of descrimination against robot kind!

But seriously, it would seem the capitalization hack was only semi 
successful.  It seems to me that most of the bots seem to put in links 
in just a long series.  Perhaps we could change it so your limited to 
say 5 outbound links per page edit?  Or we could just scan for invisible 
spans which seem to be a favorite of the bots at the moment?
