They get paid by the post. Short posts just indicate sloppiness. Maybe we
should drop Microsoft a line to say that Gary, Erik and HQ have been
slacking recently... Microsoft should look at the content of messages rather
than just the total count. They could re-recruit tab and nudds and lower the
per-post wage (or "reward" as they call it).
