Tragedy of the commons. By making the barrier to entry high, it means that only significantly capitalized businesses with significant assets to wager and lose can actually publish anything. It means that there's (less) app spam, beca

Thanks. So much more of that code makes sense now. IFD, SGNU, FORN, FORM. FORM especially. So many codes now have the word FORM as a special word. What a nightmare to read though if you don't know what it's supposed to be writ
