Is anyone else tempted to start giving them some ridiculous suggestions, give plausible-to-non-coder explanations and see if they can successfully refute them?

I don't understand. Why does Newegg have to be as big as amazon? Is the IPO being done at a market capitalization near Amazon's?

The really hackery thing to do would be to let people create and use custom ranking algorithms. Implementing this might be very difficult.

This is a really good idea. You could have all the emails forward to one master account, and then when one started forwarding spam, you could cut it off.
